Jyshawn Miller, a 15-year-old Black male, was shot on the night of December 30, 2024, during a double shooting on the 2300 block of North Carter Street in Wilmington, Delaware, just after 8 p.m. Officers found him and another teen—age 16—suffering from gunshot wounds near 23rd and North Carter. Both were rushed to the hospital; Jyshawn died of his injuries while the other teen remained in critical condition. Police identified Jyshawn the following day.
The immediate aftermath drew a heavy police presence and an urgent appeal for tips from the public. Wilmington police asked anyone with information to contact Detective Justin Kane or Delaware Crime Stoppers as investigators canvassed the area for witnesses and evidence. Early reports consistently placed the shooting on North Carter Street around 8 p.m., and described the second victim’s condition as critical.
As of the day after the shooting, authorities reported no arrests and did not release information about a suspect or suspects. Subsequent listings that document gun violence incidents and memorialize victims corroborated Jyshawn’s death on December 30 and did not note any apprehensions in the case.
Family obituary notices later confirmed his death on December 30, 2024, in Wilmington, offering his full name and age and memorial details while the criminal investigation continued separately under police.
