Jamil Green, a 19-year-old Black / African American male from the Dover, Delaware area, was killed in the early morning hours of January 24, 2020, after gunfire broke the stillness around the Country Club Apartments off Forrest Avenue. Dover police were called to the complex at about 2:55 a.m. for a report of shots fired, and while officers were still responding, they were told that someone was lying on the ground near Building Q.
When officers arrived at 70 Greenway Square, they found
Green unconscious near that part of the apartment complex. He had been shot multiple times. Medical personnel responded to provide aid, but Green was pronounced dead at the scene. The killing was treated as a homicide, and the Dover Police Department's Criminal Investigations Unit opened an investigation into what had happened in those predawn hours.
Publicly available reports did not identify a suspect, describe a motive, or provide details about what led up to the shooting. The information released at the time focused on the discovery of Green after the shots were reported, the location near Building Q, and the fact that he died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds.
No publicly available online source located reported an arrest, charges, trial, or conviction in Jamil Green's death. Dover police described the investigation as ongoing and asked anyone with information to contact the department or submit tips through Delaware Crime Stoppers, noting that callers could remain anonymous and that a reward could be available for information leading to an arrest.
