Camden Man Shot After Roadside Altercation Released Monday, December 08, 2008 Camden – Wyoming – The Delaware State Police are currently investigating a shooting that occurred this morning at approximately 10:00 am on Honeysuckle Road just north of Mud Mill Road west of Camden-Wyoming. Troopers responded to the area after 911 was called by the victim reporting he had been shot by an unknown white male. The investigation has revealed the victim, a 26 year old Camden man, was traveling in his vehicle on Honeysuckle Road when he observed a green Mercury Sable driving in the area. The victim informed detectives that he was involved in a physical altercation yesterday with an unknown subject that operated a green Mercury Sable. This altercation, which was not reported to police, took place in the Camden Wal-Mart. Based on the victims observations, when he observed the Sable today traveling on Honeysuckle Road he thought the vehicle was the same one occupied by the subject he was involved with the day before. The victim was able to follow the Sable and get it to stop on the roadside. The victim exited his vehicle armed with a pipe and confronted the operator of the Sable. The other operator (suspect) exited his vehicle and engaged in a verbal altercation with the victim at which point the suspect produced a handgun and proceeded to shoot the victim one time in the upper right chest. The suspect then fled in the Mercury Sable. The victim was able to get back into his vehicle and drove to his home in the immediate area and called 911. The victim was later flown by DSP helicopter to Christiana Hospital where he is being treated for a single gun shot wound. He is listed in stable condition. The suspect – who the victim says is not the person he was involved with yesterday at the Wal-Mart - has been described as a white male, 6’00” tall, approximately 180 lbs, light brown hair crew cut style, mustache, side-burns, wearing a brown zip-up winter jacket with no hood that had an unknown patch on the front and black baggie pants. This incident remains under investigation and when additional information becomes available it will be released. Anyone with information on this incident is urged to contact detectives at Troop 3 at 302.697.2104 ext. 307 or Crime Stoppers at 1.800.TIP.3333. Tips may also be forwarded to law enforcement through tip lines maintained by Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-333 3 or on line at www.tipsubmit.com. ### |
