<\/p>\nA portion of I-95 in Wilmington, Delaware, was briefly closed Friday evening as protesters marched in response to the one-month anniversary of the deadly police shooting of 19-year-old Kadir Skinner.<\/p>\n
The protest began on Friday, July 24, on 24th\u00a0and Jessup streets, the same location where Skinner was shot and killed by a Wilmington police officer a month prior. <\/p>\n
The protesters passed by several locations, including ChristianaCare Hospital and the home of Delaware’s Attorney General. <\/p>\n
Shortly before 6 p.m., the protesters marched along I-95 near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, prompting Delaware State troopers to close I-95 as the march continued. I-95 was reopened a short time later once the protesters cleared the area. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The group told NBC10 they were calling for accountability and more answers in regards to Skinner’s death. <\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t even know what to say. Right now, I\u2019m hurt,\u201d Mahkieb Booker, the organizer of the protest, told NBC10. \u201cI\u2019m mad. Pissed off. We lost a loved one. The village. And man, it\u2019s hitting to my core.\u201d<\/p>\n

On June 24, 2026, shortly after 11 p.m., Wilmington police officers who were on patrol spotted a large crowd on 24th\u00a0and Jessup streets in Wilmington, Delaware. The officers said they then spotted a man \u2013 who they later identified as 19-year-old Kadir Skinner \u2013 exit a home and point a gun at the crowd. The officers approached Skinner who fled on foot, according to investigators. Police said an officer \u201cengaged with\u201d Skinner and shot him at least once.<\/p>\n
In the first of three body camera videos that were released by police in July,<\/a> an officer chases after Skinner and appears to fire shots at him.<\/p>\n The officer then repeatedly tells Skinner to drop the gun while Skinner replies by saying he’s unarmed.<\/p>\n “I don’t got nothing,” Skinner tells the officer in the bodycam footage.<\/p>\n As the officer handcuffs Skinner who lies on the ground, another officer is heard claiming that Skinner threw the gun.<\/p>\n You can view all three body-worn camera videos below:\u00a0(Warning: These videos are unedited and could be disturbing for some viewers)<\/p>\n Prior to the release of the bodycam footage,\u00a0NBC10 also obtained video from a witness that shows the immediate aftermath of the shooting.<\/a><\/p>\n The witness video begins with Skinner lying in the street near 24th and Jessup streets after he was shot by the officer.<\/p>\n “I don’t got nothing. I don’t got nothing,” Skinner can be heard saying in the video.<\/p>\n As a crowd gathers around the scene, bystanders can be heard urging officers to check on Skinner’s condition.<\/p>\n “He’s shot, why you on him like that? See if he’s OK,” one person yells.<\/p>\n In the bodycam video, the officer who fired at Skinner asks him if he was hit.<\/p>\n “I don’t know,” Skinner replies.<\/p>\n Skinner then repeatedly says he can’t breathe as the officers hold him to the ground. His mother is also seen at the scene before police tell her to step back.<\/p>\n “That’s her son, though. That’s her son,” a bystander says.<\/p>\n The officer later confirms that Skinner was shot at least once.<\/p>\n “We need medical,” the officer says.<\/p>\n
