Delaware State Police have arrested 28-year-old Christopher Wyman of Dover, Delaware, for aggravated menacing charges stemming from a shots fired investigation that occurred in Magnolia on Saturday.
On June 7, 2025, at approximately 1:19 p.m., troopers responded to a boat ramp at Canterbury Road and Waterside Drive in Felton, for a report of a shooting. When troopers arrived, they learned that the victim was returning to her car with her daughter when she was involved in an argument with an unknown white male and an unknown white female in a tan sedan. After the argument, the male suspect pointed a black handgun at the victims, and possibly fired an unknown number of shots as the victims drove away from the boat ramp. There were no reported injuries following the shooting. Troopers searched the area for the suspect, but were unable to locate the suspect or the tan sedan.
Later in the day, at approximately 5:17 p.m., troopers responded to Strawberry Drive and Orange Street in Magnolia, for a report of a disorderly person. When troopers arrived, they learned that an unknown white male suspect in a light-colored Ford Focus was arguing with a male victim walking down the street. During the argument, the suspect pulled a black handgun from the trunk of the Ford, and threatened the victim. Troopers searched the area for the suspect, and found him in the Ford on Strawberry Drive. Troopers made contact with the suspect, identified as Christopher Wyman, and took him into custody without incident. Through investigative means, troopers linked Wyman and the Ford as the suspect and vehicle involved in the shots fired investigation earlier that afternoon in Felton. During a search of the Ford, troopers found a BB gun that matched the description of the firearm displayed in both incidents.
Wyman was taken to Troop 3, where he was charged with crimes listed below, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 7, and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on a $10,000 secured bond.
