NEWARK, DE — Newark Police have arrested a Wilmington man in connection with an ongoing investigation into a 2021 shooting at a Newark hotel.

The investigation into the shooting remains active. Police are urging anyone who witnessed the incident or has relevant information to contact Detective W. Anderson at (302) 366-7100 x3469 or via email at wanderson@newark.de.us.
