Shooting Wilmington Delaware in Wilmington, Delaware: Kadir Skinner, a 19-year-old Black teenager, was shot and killed by a Wilmington police officer near 24th and Jessup Streets in Wilmington, Delaware. Police said officers patrolling the area saw a large crowd and that Skinner came out of a home carrying a gun pointed toward the crowd, then ran away before being shot by an officer. Family members and witnesses dispute the police account, alleging Skinner was unarmed, was running from a dog, and was shot in the back three times; they also say he was handcuffed and placed in a police car rather than an ambulance. The family is seeking release of all body camera footage, and community members have raised concerns about the officer's history of negative interactions with the community.
