A 22-year-old man was shot and killed outside a Bear gym Thursday night, Delaware State Police said.
Troopers were called to the LA Fitness off Route 40 just before 9:45 p.m. for reports of the shooting.
There, troopers found the victim shot multiple times. First responder communications indicate he was shot at least once in the stomach.
Through their investigation, detectives leaned the New Castle man was walking to his car after leaving the gym when an “unknown suspect” came near him and began shooting. Police found multiple shell casings in the parking lot.
