NEW CASTLE, Del. - August 4, 2009 Police say Khary "Frank" Knight, 21, of the 100 block of Hawk Drive is currently wanted for in the killing of /*Clifford Steed*/, 18, in Newark, Delaware.

Detectives, with the assistance of SWAT officers, executed a search warrant at his residence earlier Tuesday, however, Knight was not at home.

Two other men, Charles Ringgold, 20, of the unit block of Bradley Drive in Newark and Tavaughn Crosell, 17, of the unit block of Fairway Road in Newark have already been charged with first degree murder in Steed's death.

Police say Steed was killed in an apparent random act of violence on Tuesday, July 28th at the Georgetown Village Apartment Complex shortly after 10:00 p.m.
