Three Arrested for Firing Shots at Occupied Hotel Room in Dover


Three people have been arrested following a shooting incident that occurred last night, April 29th shortly before 11:30 PM.聽 Officers responded to the Capital Inn for reports of shots fired. As officers responded, a witness called 9-1-1 and said that individuals were seen running into a gray Ford Flex SUV that fled southbound on DuPont Highway. Officers arrived and discovered that an occupied hotel room had a shattered window and multiple shots through the door. Three juveniles–ages 17, 13, and 12–were inside the room at the time of the incident. In addition to the damage, 12 shell casings were located at the scene. A short time later, the Delaware State Police conducted a traffic stop on the gray Ford Flex in the Camden, Delaware area. The vehicle was occupied by 21-year-old Isaiah Williams of Salisbury, 24-year-old Tashawn Gantt of Delmar, MD, and 18-year-old Keangello Crump of Eden, MD. A 34-year-old woman who was driving the vehicle was not charged in the incident. Two 9mm handguns were located inside of the vehicle, with one being reported stolen out of Delaware State Police Troop 7. Williams, Gantt, and Crump were all taken into custody wearing the same clothing as shown on the video from the Capital Inn shooting. All three face several criminal charges and are now at Sussex Correctional Institution.聽
