The FBI is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest in a March 24 quadruple shooting in Wilmington that left three people dead and another person wounded, federal and local authorities announced.
Incident, victims and vehicle evidence
Wilmington police say the shooting occurred on the 600 block of North Adams Street. Surveillance video reviewed by investigators reportedly shows suspects firing at the victims from inside a gray Honda CR‑V bearing Florida license plate QVHX48. Authorities say the vehicle had been reported stolen March 4 and was recovered several days after the shooting in Chester, Pennsylvania.
The three people who died have been identified: Ryan Evans, 19, and Wahkee Tabron, 21, both from Newark, Delaware, and Gina Tiberi, 37. A fourth person was injured in the attack and survived, officials said. No further identifying information about the injured person has been released.
| Victim | Age | Hometown |
|---|---|---|
| Ryan Evans | 19 | Newark |
| Wahkee Tabron | 21 | Newark |
| Gina Tiberi | 37 | — |
Federal and local coordination
The FBI’s involvement underscores the cross‑border elements of the case: a vehicle with out‑of‑state plates that had been reported stolen and later recovered in Pennsylvania. Those circumstances frequently trigger federal resources and can widen investigative reach, allowing authorities to follow leads that cross municipal and state lines.
Local authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward. Tips can be directed to the Wilmington Police Department Crime Tip Hotline at 302‑576‑3990 or to the nearest FBI office. The FBI said the reward would be paid for information that leads to an arrest; it did not specify whether additional incentives could follow for information leading to convictions.
- Key evidence: surveillance video showing suspects firing from inside a gray Honda CR‑V.
- Vehicle details: Florida plate QVHX48; reported stolen March 4 and recovered in Chester, Pa.
- FBI reward: $5,000 for information leading to an arrest.
Local impact and community response
Triple homicides are rare but devastating in Wilmington neighborhoods, where families and friends of victims now face sudden loss and a high‑profile criminal investigation. Community leaders and residents often say prompt tips from the public are critical to resolving violent crimes, especially when surveillance and cross‑jurisdictional evidence exist but suspect identities remain unknown publicly.
While the FBI’s reward is a concrete incentive, investigators typically rely on a combination of forensic work, witness statements and digital evidence to build cases. In this instance, the surveillance footage and the recovered vehicle may provide pivotal leads — but authorities still need information from people who were in the area that night or who might recognize the car or the suspects.
Regional pattern and law enforcement challenges
The case highlights a broader challenge for small states like Delaware: major crimes often involve vehicles and individuals that move rapidly across state lines, complicating jurisdictional boundaries. Recovering a stolen car in a neighboring state is an example of why cooperation between municipal police, county investigators and federal agencies can be necessary to pursue suspects and assemble evidence.
For Wilmington residents, the immediate questions are practical: how to share information safely and what protections exist for witnesses. Police departments typically offer anonymous tip lines and sometimes coordinate with community groups to ensure witnesses feel safe coming forward.
Authorities have not released information about suspects’ identities or any arrests in connection with the March 24 shooting. Anyone with relevant information is asked to call the Wilmington Police Department Crime Tip Hotline at 302‑576‑3990 or contact the nearest FBI office.
As the investigation proceeds, families of the victims and the wider community will be watching whether the reward and the surveillance evidence help produce arrests and, ultimately, answers about motive and accountability.
