The Delaware State Police arrested 19-year-old Tyree Johnson (L) of Harrington, Delaware, and 22-year-old Tymere Harmon (R) of Dover, Delaware, for multiple felony offenses stemming from a shooting that occurred earlier this month near the Slaughter Beach Memorial Volunteer Fire Company.
On June 12, 2025, at approximately 7:14 p.m., troopers responded to the public access area adjacent to 359 Bay Avenue in Milford for a reported shooting. A preliminary investigation showed that a 32-year-old man from Dover, Delaware, was attending a party at the pavilion behind the fire company when multiple masked suspects arrived and began firing multiple rounds at the attendees. As the victim attempted to flee, he was struck in the lower extremity. The suspects fled the area before police arrived. The victim was transported to a local hospital, where he was treated and later released.
Through investigative means, Troop 4 Criminal Investigation Detectives discovered the suspects fled in a light-colored Honda Accord with Delaware registration and identified Tyree Johnson and Tymere Harmon as two of the suspects involved in the shooting police said.
On June 20, 2025, the Dover Police Department conducted a traffic stop on the Honda, which was operated by Harmon. Harmon was taken into custody without incident and transported to Troop 4, where he was charged with Assault First Degree (Felony), ten counts of Reckless Endangering First Degree (Felony), and Conspiracy Second Degree (Felony). He was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 2 and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on a $101,000 cash bond.
On June 25, 2025, members of the Kent County Governor’s Task Force located Johnson walking with a black satchel across his upper body on West Street in Harrington. Detectives attempted to make contact with Johnson, who fled behind an apartment complex. While fleeing, Johnson discarded the black bag and ran into a building police said. Johnson ultimately complied with verbal commands and exited the building, where he was taken into custody. A search of the black bag led to the discovery of a loaded Glock 17 firearm, an extended magazine, and ammunition.
Johnson was transported to Troop 3 and charged with Assault First Degree (Felony), ten counts of Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony (Felony), nine counts of Reckless Endangering First Degree (Felony), two counts of Carrying a Concealed Firearm (Felony), Conspiracy Second Degree (Felony), Resisting Arrest, Criminal Trespass Second Degree, and Possession of a Large Capacity Magazine. He was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 7 and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on a $598,100 cash bond.
Detectives are seeking the public’s assistance for any information that may lead to the identification of the remaining suspects responsible for the shooting. The unknown suspects are described as wearing all black clothing and black ski masks.
