A reported traffic accident in Glasgow prompted a homicide investigation early Sunday morning after a man was found inside a vehicle with a gunshot wound, according to Delaware State Police.
State Police said that about 5:53 a.m., New Castle County Police responded to a report of a possible crash on Old County Road in Glasgow. Responding officers discovered a deceased male victim with a gunshot wound inside a vehicle, according to police.
His identity is being withheld pending family notification.
Because the shooting happened near the 2400 block of Old County Road, county police determined that the incident occurred within the jurisdiction of the Delaware State Police and turned over the investigation to them.
Information about a suspect was not immediately available Sunday, and police said the investigation is active and ongoing. Detectives are asking anyone with information regarding this incident to contact Detective D. Grassi at 302-365-8441.
