On September 21, 2007, two 17-year-old Delaware State University freshmen were shot on campus. One died 32 days later on October 23, from critical injuries sustained in the attack. A freshman student from East Orange, New Jersey, Loyer D. Braden, was arrested and charged with murder; the charges were dismissed in May 2009 due to lack of evidence, as well as eyewitnesses saying that Braden was not the shooter.
