Daryon Walker died from a single gun shot wound, execution style to the back of the head. Police have charged Jaquelah Shonsa Banks and Juan Raphael Bethea with his murder. Bethea is from Wilmington and Banks was visiting from New Jersey. Wilmington Chief of Police Ralph Evangelous said, "For us to be able to help them down the road, and help them through this, and eventually culminate in the prosecution of this, and confinement of these individuals, it's satisfying."Wilmington police also put a cold case to rest, which happened at Nesbitt Court back in October of 2007.Dywuane Reshaune Simpson was found lying dead on the ground, after being shot several times. Erving Converse Muse is now charged with his murder...Simpson’s uncle Myron White said, "It's not over with yet, but I'm glad we got some kind of closure."
A warrant is out for the arrest of a second suspect in the murder of Simpson. Detectives expect an arrest to be made in the next couple days. Police say the two murders are unrelated, but a common motive between the two may be attempted robbery.
