DOJ secures guilty verdicts in 2023 murder case

A Wilmington man has been found guilty on all charges for his role in the 2023 death of Quinton Turner.

Andra Manuel, 50, was convicted on April 17, 2026, by a Superior Court jury on charges of Murder First Degree, Felony Murder First Degree, Robbery First Degree, and three charges of Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony; he was additionally found guilty by a Superior Court judge on a separate charge of Possession of a Firearm by a Person Prohibited.

"Our DOJ trial team and the Wilmington Police Department deserve a tremendous amount of praise for ensuring that justice was carried out here," said Attorney General Kathy Jennings. "I hope that this verdict brings some measure of peace and closure to the victim's family."

On the evening of November 28, 2023, Manuel shot and killed Turner at a residence on the 200 block of West 20th Street in Wilmington before fleeing. A subsequent investigation led to his arrest in Owings Mills, Maryland, on January 8, 2024, after which he was extradited to Delaware. A sentencing date for Manuel has not yet been set.
