The Delaware State Police arrested 43-year-old Dionne Warner of Harrington, Delaware, for aggravated menacing and weapon-related charges following a series of shots-fired incidents between Saturday evening and Sunday morning in Harrington.

On November 29, 2025, at approximately 9:00 p.m., troopers responded to the 500 block of Staytonville Road in Harrington for a report of shots fired. Upon arrival, troopers learned that a small passenger car had been seen leaving the area after several shots were heard. At approximately 11:15 p.m., troopers responded back to the same location after the same passenger car returned and fired a shot towards the residence. The car was seen circling the area several times before fleeing. During the investigation, troopers recovered a spent shell casing and live ammunition at the scene.

On November 30, 2025, at approximately 5:00 a.m., the same vehicle returned and fled the area after additional shots were heard. At approximately 10:30 a.m., an unknown black male driver was seen yelling from the same passenger car involved in the previous reported incidents. No homes in the area were struck, and no injuries were reported as a result of the gunfire in any of the events.

Through investigative means, Dionne Warner was identified as the suspect during the shots-fired incidents. Warner did not appear to have any ties with the residents. The investigation revealed that during each incident, Warner was reportedly searching for a family member he believed was in the area. However, detectives confirmed there is no known affiliation between that individual and the residents.

On November 30, 2025, troopers arrested Warner at his residence without incident on a separate active warrant. Warner, who is a convicted felon and prohibited from possessing deadly weapons, was taken to Troop 3 where he was charged with the crimes listed below, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 7, and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on a $47,000 cash bond.
