They now think 25-year-old Kenneth Holmes, of New Castle, and the 28-year-old victim got into a fight in the Star Center parking lot, located at 3125 New Castle Avenue.

The fight ended and Holmes left, but came back later with a gun and shot the victim as he sat in the passenger seat of a car parked there, police said. Holmes then fled on foot, police said.

The victim was treated by New Castle County Paramedics before being transported to a local hospital with serious life-threatening injuries.

The State Police homicide unit conducted interviews and were able to identify Holmes, police said. They charged him with attempted first-degree murder, possession of a firearm while committing a felony and possession of a deadly weapon by a prohibited person.

He was arrested at his home, police said, taken to State Police Troop 2, arraigned and committed to the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution in default of $1 million cash bail.
