  • Details: An unidentified motorist nicknamed the "Route 22 Killer" is wanted for the murder of 34-year-old David Hurley. In the early morning of June 13, 1992, David left his home at 1:30am and was driving along Route 22 near Wilkington to pick up donuts before a weekend outing with his brother's Boy Scout troop. After leaving the donut shop, he was involved in a minor traffic accident, being sideswiped by another vehicle that came out of nowhere. When he got out of his van to exchange insurance information, the other driver punched him, then shot him once in the shoulder, once in the lower chest, and as he turned to leave, once in the back. He then drove the two miles back home and when he called for his wife, Pam, she didn't understand why he was home, until he told her that he had been shot, and she came down and called 911. Paramedics soon arrived and at 3:30am he told police what happened to him. He was then transported via Life Flight to Presbytarian University Hospital. He appeared to be doing well until he started having trouble breathing. At the hospital, he was taken into surgery and died at 6:30am after going into acute cardiac arrest. All police have now is a description of the suspect from David himself shortly before he died. The man was a African-American and had a vehicle similar to the one above.
