Reeves-20 of Lincoln, Delaware. Reeves is the driver of the Chrysler Sebring involved in this investigation. Reeves is still a fugitive and should be considered armed and dangerous.

Powell was charged with Burglary 2nd because after fleeing from the Chrysler Sebring he entered a residence on the unit block of Savannah Road Georgetown in an attempt to evade police apprehension.

The 2nd suspect apprehended during this investigation has not been charged, a preliminary investigation suggests he was not directly involved with the killing of Ptlm. Spicer. However it must be noted that even though Powell has been apprehend this investigation and collection of information is still ongoing.

Delaware State Police are continuing their search for Christopher Reeves and have expanded their search to the Dover area of Kent County Delaware.

It should also be noted Cpl. Shawn Brittingham was struck in the neck by a projectile fragment. Cpl. Brittingham is listed to be in stable condition.

A photo of Powell is not currently available however I am working closely with Delaware State Bureau of Investigation in attempts to obtain a photo. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

Anyone having contact with Reeves is asked to call Troop 4 at 302-856-5850, and Crime Stoppers at-1-800-TIP-3333 or for immediate assistance dial 911.

WTF??? He was there. He was in the car. HE IS GUILTY! Same as the 3 that killed Anitra Pirkle. One stabbed her, all three found guilty of murder.

Don't let this scumbag get off so easy he comes back and shoots another cop, you know he will.

WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE? HE WAS THERE HE DIDN'T PULL THE TRIGGER, HE DIDN'T RUN INSTEAD HE RENDERED SERVICE TO THE FALLEN OFFICER. JUST BY THAT YOU CAN TELL HE HAS A HEART. THAT HE WAS THERE AT THE WRONG TIME IS A DIFFERENT THING.
