The Department of Justice has secured a reindictment adding a new defendant, and several charges against existing defendants, in the case against the Wilmington-area gang NorthPak.

“This reindictment is yet another product of the amazing work that prosecutors and police are doing to take down NorthPak,” said Attorney General Jennings. “These are not simple cases. They are grueling, complicated investigations that involve multiple defendants, all too many victims, and layer upon layer of evidence and analysis. We are bringing more defendants – and more victims – closer to justice and we owe that to the dedication, teamwork, and ceaseless efforts of prosecutors and law enforcement.”  

“The continued progress stemming from this indictment demonstrates the power of our multi-jurisdictional partnerships, and the tireless work of our investigators,” said Chief Robert J. Tracy. “As our community and state continue to see gun violence and firearm crime persist, we remain steadfast in our efforts to make our communities safer and hold these offenders responsible.”

The reindictment charges Isaiah Lecompte with three counts of Attempted Murder First Degree, four counts of Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony, Illegal Gang Participation, Conspiracy First Degree, and Possession of a Firearm by a Person Prohibited. If convicted on all charges, Isaiah Lecompte faces a minimum prison sentence of 57 years and a maximum life sentence. Lecompte was apprehended by authorities in Texas and has been extradited to Delaware to face charges.

The reindictment further adds charges against existing defendants Deshonne Moore and Khalil Rodriguez-Fitzgerald. Moore faces additional charges of Attempted Murder First Degree, Possession of a Firearm by a Person Prohibited, Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony.  Rodriguez-Fitzgerald faces additional charges of Carrying a Concealed Deadly Weapon and Possession of a Firearm by a Person Prohibited. 

The indictments were secured by Deputy Attorneys General Erika Flaschner, Joe Grubb, and AJ Hill, with an ongoing investigation led by Det. Justin Kane and Det. Tom Curley of Wilmington Police Department, and critical support from DOJ Criminal Intelligence Analyst/Investigator Dan Masi, Julia Bacon, Sarah Molaski, and DAG Paige Todaro.

The Department of Justice has secured an indictment adding a new defendant in the case against the Wilmington-area gang NorthPak.

“Gun violence continues to devastate families in our state, and while the causes of that violence are legion we cannot address it without taking on gangs,” said Attorney General Jennings. “We believe that this group is responsible for a trail of destruction that has taken lives, terrorized our communities, and permanently traumatized families. They must be held to account, and we will continue to pursue justice against NorthPak on behalf of its victims and on behalf of the people of this state. I’m grateful to our team and to the detectives whose good work have made progress possible in this case.”

“The additional indictment and charges that we are announcing demonstrate the continuing nature of investigations like these – as well as the strength of our multi-jurisdictional partnerships and collaborations that we have with our partner law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies centered around addressing gun violence,” said Wilmington Police Chief Robert J. Tracy. “This also reflects the impact of our Group Violence Intervention initiative and the intensive, unyielding investigative efforts that have driven these indictments from the start. I hope the continued charges stemming from this investigation – and others – sends a clear and powerful message that gun violence will not be tolerated in our community.”
