Nahshon Quamier Archie-Eatmon, a 22-year-old Black/African American male from Wilmington, Delaware, was shot on the evening of January 13, 2021, in the 800 block of North Monroe Street. It was around 7:30 p.m. when Wilmington police were called into the neighborhood after gunfire broke the night open. Officers found Nahshon wounded, and he was rushed to a hospital, but the injuries were too severe. He was pronounced dead a short time later.
The same shooting left another person injured.
Police later learned that a 28-year-old man had also been shot and had arrived at the hospital on his own or by other means. He survived and was listed in stable condition. The public reports did not describe whether the second victim was with Nahshon when the gunfire began, whether the two men were targeted together, or what led up to the shooting.
Nahshon was also remembered as “Brezzy.” His obituary described him as a Wilmington native born on December 30, 1998, the son of Necole Marie Eatmon and Cecil Lamont Archie. He attended Wilmington public schools, graduated from Brandywine High School, played basketball, and later studied trades through Job Corps, including HVAC and automotive work. Those details give the outline of a young man who had family, school memories, work experience, and plans beyond the block where his life ended.
In the immediate aftermath, Wilmington police publicly described the case as an active investigation and asked anyone with information to contact Detective Brian Conkey. The early reports did not identify a suspect, describe a motive, or announce an arrest. They also did not provide details about whether detectives recovered weapons, surveillance footage, ballistic evidence, or witness statements.
No publicly available non-video sources reviewed identified any named suspect, arrest, charges, trial, plea, or conviction specifically tied to Nahshon Archie-Eatmon’s killing. The case, as reflected in the available public reporting, remains one where the known story is painfully brief: a Wednesday night shooting on North Monroe Street, two men hit by gunfire, one survivor, and Nahshon’s death at only 22 years old.
