I think this also sets the record for shootings too. And only a couple blocks from where I work.

A 43-year-old Wilmington man died early Saturday from gunshot wounds to the abdominal area he received the night before.

Derrick Caudle's slaying is Wilmington's 28th homicide. His killing surpasses the city's record for homicides set in 2010.

Police were called to the 700 block of Vandever Ave. about 10:30 p.m. Friday on a report of a shooting. When they arrived they found Caudle on the sidewalk.

New Castle County paramedics treated the man before he was taken to Christiana Hospital, said Sgt. Michael McColley, a paramedic spokesman.

Caudle died early Saturday, police said.

There is no suspect information available at this time and the investigation is ongoing, police said.
