New Castle County Police have released more details on the events leading up to a slaying in Glasgow Court Trailer Park early Sunday morning. The victim was identified as Michael Leger, 25.
Further investigation by police determined that the suspect was driving within the complex with no headlights when the car was observed by the victim, while it was in the 100 block of Garnett Street.
Due to his concern for the children who were in the area, the victim yelled to the driver trying to get him to turn on his headlights.
Moments later, a dispute occurred between the victim and the suspect, before the suspect fled to his car as he was making threatening comments. Within minutes, the suspect returned with an accomplice. They confronted the victim. At that time, both suspects assaulted and cut the victim, who suffered a fatal wound to his upper body.

The vehicle involved is described as a two door boxy type vehicle with a possible unknown Delaware registration.
