Heartbreak in Wilmington after a young woman was killed on a college campus. 18-year-old Camay DeSilva was shot while visiting friends at Delaware State University. She was remembered by family and friends as a loving daughter.

Balloons were released in memory of an 18-year-old girl who is no longer alive as dozens with heavy hearts packed the basketball courts at a park in Wilmington Wednesday evening."It hit us hard. It’s unexpected. She was taken to soon, from us too soon," said Shanelle DeSilva and Dontavais Mitchell. They’re in disbelief over the murder of their daughter, Camay Mitchell DeSilva."I cry. Sometimes in front of people. A lot by myself.

Camay’s parents say she began college at Morgan State University and was planning to transfer to Del State where she applied just two weeks ago."Her best friend is a student there and she was just there visiting for the weekend. Like I said, she wanted to go there, so getting a feel for the campus," said Camay’s mom, who also says her daughter enjoyed doing hair and had her own business. She was also pursing a career in computers.
