Double Homicide Suspect From Delaware Surrenders To Police In Bucks County

A man wanted in connection with a fatal home invasion in Delaware turned himself in to Buckingham Township Police Sunday night, authorities said.

Matthew Harrington, 23, surrendered to police in Buckingham Township at 8 p.m. Sunday, according to Delaware State Police. He is awaiting extradition to Delaware and is being held at Bucks County Correctional Facility, according to police.

Harrington is one of two suspects in a Dover-area home invasion in which two people killed, Delaware State Police said.

Authorities did not say why Harrington traveled to Bucks County to turn himself in. “It was very strange considering he is from Philadelphia and the only connection he has to Bucks County is an aunt that lives in Southampton,” Buckingham Police Lt. J.R. Landis told The Intelligencer.

Saleem Shabazz, 21 of Philadelphia, is still wanted and is considered armed and dangerous, Delaware State Police said. Shabazz is described as a black male approximately 6’00” tall weighing 150-160 lbs. with a slim build wearing dark clothing armed with unknown type of handgun.

Shabazz may be driving a four-door, dark-colored SUV.

If anyone has any information about this incident or the whereabouts of the Shabazz, they should call 9-1-1 or contact Detective D. Grassi at 302-365-8441. Information may also be provided by calling Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333, or by sending anonymous tips by text to 274637 (CRIMES) using the keyword DSP via the internet at www.delaware.crimestoppersweb.com.
