The Delaware State Police arrested 28-year-old Jamira Loper of Wilmington, for felony assault charges stemming from an incident that occurred at a grocery store parking lot in Stanton on Saturday.

On January 18, 2025, at approximately 2:57 p.m., a trooper responded to a report of an assault at ShopRite, located at 1600 West Newport Pike in Wilmington. Upon arriving, the trooper made contact with multiple victims who were maced by a woman they know while they were near their vehicle in the grocery store’s parking lot. The trooper learned that the suspect, identified as Jamira Loper, maced the five victims, whose identities will not be disclosed, while driving by them in the parking lot. Loper then fled from the parking lot in an unknown direction.

Two adults and a teenager were taken to an area hospital by ambulance for injuries sustained from the chemical spray to their face and neck areas. The remaining two victims, an adult and a child, were evaluated by EMS at the scene. Following the investigation, the trooper obtained a warrant for Loper’s arrest and made multiple attempts to locate her.

On January 20, 2025, Loper turned herself in at Troop 2, where she was charged, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 11, and released on a $27,500 unsecured bond.
