WILMINGTON, DE — Wilmington Police have arrested four men on multiple gun and drug charges following an investigation that began earlier this month, authorities announced.
According to police, the Gun Intelligence Unit launched an inquiry in August into alleged illegal firearm possession involving a 16-year-old male juvenile and 18-year-old K’Den Bowens.
On August 20, 2025, at approximately 10:25 a.m., officers located the 16-year-old in the passenger seat of a vehicle in the 800 block of West 7th Street. Police say when they attempted to contact the occupants, the driver — later identified as 23-year-old Nhy-jee Evans — rammed two police vehicles before fleeing the scene. No officers were injured.
A short time later, officers found the vehicle in the 2000 block of Concord Pike and took the juvenile, Evans, and 23-year-old Sabeer Mumin into custody without further incident. Police also executed search warrants at residences in the 200 block of North Franklin Street and the 1200 block of Conrad Street, where they arrested Bowens.
During the searches, police recovered a loaded 9mm handgun, 55.9 grams of crack cocaine, 4.95 grams of heroin, 399.1 grams of marijuana, and $3,978 in cash.
The defendants face the following charges:
- 16-year-old male juvenile: Two counts of possession of a firearm or ammunition by a person prohibited; released on $10,000 secured bail after arraignment in Family Court.
- K’Den Bowens, 18: One count of possession of a firearm by a person prohibited; committed to the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution on $20,000 cash-only bail.

- Sabeer Mumin, 23: Multiple counts of possession of controlled substances with intent to deliver and conspiracy; committed on $57,000 cash-only bail.
Police emphasized that all charges are allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
