(Dover, Del) - Dover Police hav made an arrest in the murder of Jordan Peck, an 18-year-old man who was found dead on January 25th, 2015. At approximately 10:29AM on that day, police responded to a section of railroad located between Division Street and Walker Road for the discovery of a body, later identified as Jordan Peck. Jordan Peck had suffered two gunshot wounds, one to his upper torso and another to his head.
