De Silva was shot and killed by a stray bullet on April 21 while visiting her best friend who attended Delaware State University.
Police announced in a press release that 20-year-old Destry Jones and 18-year-old Damien Hinson, both from Dover, are being charged with the murder of Camay Mitchell De Silva.
The pair are also charged with the attempted murder of two other young men in connection with the April 21 shooting.
Jones was arrested in Brooklyn, New York and Hinson was arrested later that day in Dover, police said.
According to authorities, neither of the suspects in this case are enrolled at or affiliated with Delaware State University.
Police claimed Jones and Hinson were involved in a fight with two other men before shots were fired. Investigators do not believe De Silva was the intended target or involved in the altercation.
Beloved taken too soon
De Silva was a 2023 graduate of Concord High School who graduated with a 3.0. She spent her first semester of college at Morgan State University in Baltimore but decided she wanted to come home to Delaware.
She then attended Delaware Technical Community College and planned to attend DSU in the fall to pursue a degree in Computer Science, with the goal of working in cybersecurity.
