Investigators began their search, which led to the arrest of a 17-year-old male who was located at a nearby park. The victim and offender were relatives.
He has been charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery and auto larceny.
Police noted this is five of the nine homicides to have taken place in Wilmington this year related to domestic violence. Anyone in need of seek should contact Domestic Violence Shelter and Services, 910-343-0703.
