A 16-year-old was arrested Thursday in connection with the 2024 murder of a 14-year-old boy on Christmas Eve in Delaware, according to the Dover Police Department.
The 16-year-old boy is the third teenager charged in the shooting death of 14-year-old Juwan Walker. The other two suspects, who were 15 and 13 years old at the time of their arrest, were taken into custody four days after the shooting.
According to police, around 6:50 p.m. on Dec. 24, 2024, Walker was sitting inside a parked vehicle on Willis Road, just north of North Little Creek Road, in Dover, Delaware, when two teenagers approached the vehicle. One of the teens pulled out a gun and opened fire, shooting Walker in the upper body. Both suspects then left the scene.
Walker was taken by private vehicle to Bayhealth Kent Campus and was later flown to a New Castle County hospital in critical condition. He died on Dec. 27, 2024.
Investigators later identified two suspects in Walker’s death as a 15-year-old boy and a 13-year-old boy. On Dec. 28, 2024, Dover Police executed a search warrant at a home on Stevenson Drive and arrested the 13-year-old boy. 
Police then arrested the 15-year-old boy at an apartment on the 400 block of Country Drive. 
The Dover Police Department continued investigating, and on Aug. 10, 2026, officers obtained an arrest warrant for the 16-year-old suspect.
On Aug. 13, 2026, the third suspect was taken into custody at his home in Pennsylvania.
Once he is extradited to Delaware, the 16-year-old will be charged with second-degree murder, first-degree conspiracy and other offenses, police said.
Anyone with information regarding this homicide is asked to contact the Dover Police Department at (302) 736-7111. Callers may remain anonymous. Tips may also be submitted to Delaware Crime Stoppers at 800-TIP-3333 or online through Delaware Crime Stoppers. A cash reward is possible for information leading to an arrest.
