Man, 25, charged in fatal shooting near Long Neck

A 25-year-old man faces first-degree murder and other charges after a June 14 shooting near Long Neck.

Delaware State Police responded to a home at 2 a.m. in the 24000 block of Rivers Edge Drive for a reported shooting. When troopers arrived, they located a 19-year-old man outside the residence suffering from gunshot wounds. Troopers rendered medical aid, but the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other men were also found outside the residence with gunshot injuries. They were transported to an area hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries.

Police said they identified Marcus Harris as the shooter and took him into custody without incident.

Police said they learned that the 19-year-old and two other men were at the residence with a female occupant, who was acquainted with both the 19-year-old and Marcus Harris. While there, police said, the 19-year-old got into an argument with the woman, who no longer wanted him or the other two men at the home. A physical altercation then occurred between Harris and the 19-year-old, police said, before Harris shot him. Harris then fired at the other two men; the woman was not injured during the incident.

Harris was transported to Troop 7 where he was charged with first-degree murder, two counts first-degree attempt to commit murder, and three counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. He was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 3, and committed to the Department of Correction in default of a $480,000 cash bond.
