19-year-old ID'd after being fatally shot in Kimberton, Delaware
The victim has been identified as 19-year-old Jahliel Jackson
NEWARK, Del. (WPVI) -- A gunman shot and killed a 19-year-old man in Newark, Delaware, over the weekend.
The gunfire erupted near Clarion and Durham Courts in the Kimberton section at 3 p.m. on Sunday.
"I was just sitting upstairs in my room and then all of a sudden hear, six shots back to back," recalled Carl Lee of Newark.
"It was very distinctive. We heard, like, pop, pop, pop, pop," added another neighbor, Shane Hamby.
The victim, identified as 19-year-old Jahliel Jackson, was taken by a private vehicle to Christiana Hospital, where he later died.
Authorities roped off a wide area of the residential neighborhood during the investigation.
People who live in the area say this community is home to a bunch of young families, and this type of violence is very unusual in this section of Newark.
"It's normally a pretty safe area, like, we really don't have a lot over here at all, you know. So, scary, yeah," said Hamby.
No arrests have been made in the case.
Anyone with information is asked to call New Castle County police.
