Narrative:
The Dover Police Department arrested four subjects involved in a shooting incident on Saturday night at the Kent Budget Motel at 383 N. DuPont Highway. Officers responded to the motel for a report of shots fired at approximately 9:44 p.m. Upon arrival, they were advised that a group of suspects confronted a 26-year-old male victim at the motel and multiple shots were fired. No injuries resulted from the gunfire. The suspects then fled in a black 2021 Jeep Wrangler with Florida registration.
A short time later, officers located the suspect vehicle and attempted to stop it. The vehicle fled for a short period before stopping.
