Man arrested after shooting outside Bubba's in Dover

A Dover man is in jail and another is wanted by police after a Sunday morning assault and attempted shooting outside Bubba's nightclub on North DuPont Highway in Dover, according to Dover Police.

Police were called to the parking lot of the nightclub shortly after 1 a.m. by reports of a large gathering as the club was closing. On the scene, Dover Police heard several gun shots, according to Dover Police Lt. Jason Pires.

Witnesses told police Naquan Ingram, 32, and Agmere Matthews, 21, both of Dover, had argued with a man inside the club before the altercation was taken outside. There, two men were joined by others who have not been identified assaulting the victim, according to Pires.

The victim and his girlfriend were able to get into a car and fled. Matthews and Ingram fired handguns several times at the victims as the two drove away, Pires said.

Police located the victims and several bullet holes in the car. The victim and his girlfriend were not struck. The man was treated for minor injuries at Kent General Hospital and released, according to police.

Police said they later found Ingram with a stolen handgun. He was arrested on charges of assault, criminal mischief, two counts of reckless endangering, possession of a deadly weapon during commission of a felony, possession of a deadly weapon by a prohibited person, carrying a concealed deadly weapon and possession of a stolen firearm. He was taken to James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in lieu of $29,100 cash bond, according to Pires.

Dover Police are still searching for Agmere Matthews, who lives in the 300 Block of Nimitz Road in Dover.
