SEAFORD, Del. – Delaware State Police have arrested a Seaford man in connection with a homicide earlier this month.
The incident took place at around 4:30 p.m. on March 12th at Nutter Park in Seaford. At the scene, officers found 23-year-old Schweitzer Dessin suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Dessin was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died as a result of his injuries.
Two other victims, ages 19 and 21, reportedly self-transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Further investigation led police to identify the suspect as 23-year-old Johnathan Dugazon, who was arrested by Seaford Police on Monday. He was held at SCI on an over $2 million cash bond for first degree murder, attempted first degree murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, five counts of possession of a firearm/destructive weapon if previously convicted of a felony, carrying a concealed a deadly weapon, three counts of first degree reckless endangering, and two counts of noncompliance with conditions of recognizance bond or conditions.
In February, police charged George V. Kirk Middle School teacher David DiFilippo with sexual solicitation of a 13-year-old student. Authorities said DiFilippo was grooming the girl for sex with explicit messages and once rubbed her leg while she was alone with him in his classroom. The school is in the Christina School District.
Authorities announced Monday’s arrest of Vila within hours of him being taken into custody, accompanied by the promise to root out child predators at schools.
“Any case with a child victim is heinous. Cases where the abuser held a position of trust are beyond the pale,” Attorney General Kathy Jennings said in a written statement. “Child predators are our priority. We will find them, we will charge them without compromise, and we will bring them to justice.”
Unlike the Oliver case, where Red Clay officials never notified families about the fact that Oliver was under investigation or arrested, George Read’s principal sent school families a notice of a pending investigation on March 17, the day police interviewed the girl’s parents about Vila.
The letter from Principal Nick Wolfe didn’t say a teacher was suspected of soliciting a student but said the matter involved “a weekend incident involving members of the [school] community” and that “students were not in danger.”
After Monday’s arrest, district spokeswoman Lauren Wilson said in a statement that did not identify Vila that a George Read employee had been charged with “multiple criminal offenses” and that Colonial officials are “cooperating fully.”
Wilson’s statement noted that “the staff member has not been in the presence of students since the incident was reported.”
Wilson would not respond to questions from WHYY News about Wilson’s tenure teaching at George Read or coaching baseball and lacrosse at William Penn High School.
But Jennings’ office confirmed that he coached lacrosse in 2021 and 2022, and until the sex solicitation investigation began last week, Vila was assistant coach for the junior varsity baseball team.
State payroll records, however, show that Vila began working for Colonial in 2020. Last year, Vila was paid $72,100 by Colonial, including $5,000 in unspecified extra pay.
Anyone with information about Vila and possible criminal activity is urged to contact state police Det. Kevin Kelleher at 302-365-8436.
Editor’s note: This story has been updated to correct the description of how state police were notified of the alleged contact between Vila and the student.
A gym teacher has been arrested for allegedly sending sexually explicit text messages and social media messages to an eighth-grade student at George Read Middle School in New Castle, the Delaware attorney general said in a news release Monday.
Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings said 39-year-old Ricardo Vila is facing 17 felony charges, including sexual solicitation of a child, promoting sexual solicitation of a child, obscenity, enticement for purposes of sexual conduct, sexual abuse of a child by a person in a position of trust and a dangerous crime against a child.
Vila is a physical education teacher at the middle school.
“Parents deserve to trust that their children are safe at school, full stop,” Jennings said in a statement. “Any case with a child victim is heinous; cases where the abuser held a position of trust are beyond the pale. Child predators are our priority. We will find them, we will charge them without compromise, and we will bring them to justice.”
Jennings said the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, led by the Delaware Department of Justice and state police, spearheaded the investigation.
In a statement, Col. William Crotty, the superintendent of Delaware State Police, claimed that the Colonial School District brought the case to the attention of law enforcement.
This case highlights the crucial collaboration between our detectives and the Delaware Department of Justice in holding offenders accountable,” Crotty said. “We will continue to work diligently alongside our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners to ensure that those who exploit children face justice.”
The attorney general said investigators are unaware of any additional victims but are asking anyone with further information to contact Detective Kevin Kelleher at 302-365-8436.
