Jury Convicts Wilmington Man Who Fled to Maryland After 2023 Fatal Shooting

A Wilmington man has been convicted in the 2023 fatal shooting of Quinton Turner.

Andra Manuel, 50, was found guilty on April 17, 2026, by a Superior Court jury on charges of first-degree murder, first-degree felony murder, first-degree robbery, and three counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. He was also found guilty by a Superior Court judge on a separate charge of possession of a firearm by a person prohibited.

Turner, 39, was shot and killed on November 28, 2023, inside a residence in the 200 block of West 20th Street in Wilmington. Police said Manuel fled after the shooting.

The investigation led Wilmington Police to identify Manuel as the suspect. He was arrested on January 8, 2024, in Owings Mills, Maryland, and later extradited to Delaware.

Manuel had previously been held at Howard R. Young Correctional Institution after his arraignment on a $3,370,000 cash-only bail. A sentencing date has not yet been set.
