BRIDGEVILLE, Del. (AP) - Delaware State Police are searching for a man charged in shooting death of an 18-year-old.

A state police release says 31-year-old Jared C. Mitchell, of Greenwood, was charged Friday with first-degree murder, reckless endangering and two counts each of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by a person prohibited.
