DOVER — The city’s latest shooting victim barely cooperated with investigators afterward, police said, following similar responses from those wounded by gunfire recently.

A 27-year-old man was shot in the leg early Tuesday morning in the area of Walker and Saulsbury roads and transported to Bayhealth-Kent General Hospital by a bystander, Dover Police spokesman Master Cpl. Mark Hoffman said. The victim’s injuries were considered non-life threatening, according to authorities.

The injured man would only say he was shot near the 7-11 at the Hamlet Shopping Center, police said. He arrived at the hospital at approximately 12:30 a.m.

Information provided in recent incidents has been limited, police said.

“More often than not, the victims have been minimally cooperative at best,” Cpl. Hoffman said.

A regularity of gunfire-related incidents has prompted police to take a proactive approach to enforcing the law, Cpl. Hoffman said, but more help is needed from citizens.

“We have seen a trend in shootings/shots fired in certain parts of the city over the last month which is concerning,” Cpl. Hoffman said.

“We have deployed resources to those areas to prevent crimes from occurring, however, we also need help from our community. It is extremely difficult to solve these cases when you are getting little to no cooperation from witnesses, neighbors, and even the victims themselves.

It was unknown if Tuesday’s shooting was a random act, police said, and whether he was alone at the time. Authorities could not disclose if he lived in the area.
