An 18-year-old man has been extradited to Delaware and charged in connection with the fatal shooting of Marcus Foster on New Year’s Eve in Wilmington.
Officers responded to the 600 block of West 6th Street at approximately 7:52 p.m. on December 31, 2025, and found Foster, 40, suffering from gunshot injuries. He was transported to a hospital, where he died. Shortly afterward, Chester Police notified Wilmington investigators that a possible suspect vehicle had crashed in Chester, Pennsylvania. Officers there detained an 18-year-old man from the vehicle who was allegedly carrying a .45-caliber handgun.
Detective Joseph Wicks identified the man as the shooting suspect and obtained arrest warrants on January 2. A New Castle County grand jury returned an indictment on February 3, and the suspect was extradited to Delaware on October 23.
The man faces charges of first-degree murder, first-degree murder during the commission of a felony, two counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, first-degree robbery, carrying a concealed deadly weapon and leaving the scene of an accident. He was arraigned in New Castle County Superior Court and committed to the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution on $1,311,000 cash-only bail.
