A shooting on the campus of Delaware State University leaves an 18-year-old woman dead.
Dover Police and DSU confirm the Wilmington woman was shot outside a dormitory early Sunday morning. She was not a DSU student.
DSU Police responded to a call for shots fired on campus at 1:40 a.m. Sunday near the underpass outside of Warren Franklin Hall. They found the woman with a gunshot wound to her upper body.
She was transported to Bayhealth Medical Center where she later died.
The incident is being investigated by Delaware State University Police and Dover Police.
The preliminary investigation revealed that the victim and possibly another woman were visiting a DSU student on campus.
The suspect(s) were last seen fleeing in the direction of College Road.
No suspect description is currently available. Witnesses and individuals with any information are being urged to contact police.
DSU closed its campus Sunday, with no visitation permitted. All events were canceled and police patrols have been increased. Classes Monday are also canceled.
The school also says counseling services are available in the Tubman Laws Hall housing office.
