Dion Oliver Convicted of Charges Related to the Shooting of a Wilmington 6-Year-Old Boy and the Death of Newark Woman
\nFBI\u2019s Delaware Violent Crime and Safe Streets Task Force investigated a crime spree that unfolded across multiple police jurisdictions and two separate states.<\/p>\n
As a result, defendant Dion Oliver was convicted of stalking, kidnapping resulting in death, and conspiracy after a seven-day federal trial and was sentenced to life in prison.
\n\u201cThese men displayed a total disregard for human life,\u201d said Thomas J. Sobocinski, special agent in charge of the FBI Baltimore Field Office. \u201cIn an act of retribution, they not only kidnapped and killed a woman, they opened fire in the middle of a busy street, when kids were getting out of school, forever changing the life of one 6-year-old boy as he was shot while riding in the backseat of his mom\u2019s car. Rest assured, the FBI and our law enforcement partners will continue to pursue those who seek to terrorize our communities and hurt innocent people.\u201d

\u201c\u2026this is an extremely dangerous individual and we are fortunate more persons were not injured.

\nThe FBI\u2019s assistance in this investigation led to Aquintas Kantrell Singleton pleading guilty to a crime involving the possession of 17 dogs for use in an animal fighting venture.<\/p>\n
