Joseph Michael “Joey” Curry was a 20-year-old White male from Bridgeville, Delaware, whose life ended on May 1, 2016. Online memorial records identify his death as firearm-related, while his obituary states that he died at his home. The publicly available material does not provide a dependable, detailed account of the circumstances leading to the shooting, including who was present, what prompted the gunfire, whether the wound was inflicted by another person, or how investigators classified
the death.
Curry had been born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on July 26, 1995, and graduated from Woodbridge High School in 2014. Those who remembered him described an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed fishing, hunting, camping and mud bogging. He was especially devoted to spending time with his friends and family. His survivors included his parents, Shannon Curry Steward and Joseph Curran; his stepfather, Jason Steward; his sister, Jenna Steward; his brother, Jason Steward Jr.; and members of his extended family. Funeral services were held in Bridgeville, and he was buried at Bridgeville Cemetery.
Although Curry appears in online gun-violence memorial records, no accessible law-enforcement release or reliable local news report reviewed for this synopsis identifies an arrested person, named suspect, criminal charge, prosecution, trial or conviction connected to his death. Public reports about suspects and arrests in later shootings on Mill Park Drive concern other victims and separate incidents and should not be attributed to Curry's case. Based on the available online record, there is no verified public information establishing that anyone was arrested or prosecuted for causing his death.
