🚨Domestic Kidnapping🚨
Seaford, DE- On 5/30/26 at approximately 3:24pm, officers were dispatched to a call in the area of Pennsylvania Avenue and Hall St of a female passenger yelling for help in a vehicle being driven recklessly. As officers were responding to the scene, additional calls came in about a hit and run collision and a female being dragged back toward a vehicle. Callers reported that nearby witnesses got the female away from a male party, who then fled in the vehicle.

As officers began speaking with witnesses and the female victim, a clear picture of the total incident was developed.

The female victim and the male suspect, identified as 25 y/o Khalil Bell-Houchens, were in a relationship and he picked her up from a location in Blades. During their time in the vehicle, they began to argue and she told him she wanted to get out. Bell-Houchens repeatedly forced her to remain in the vehicle and made statements indicating that both of them were going die. As this was occurring, the vehicle was being driven up on the sidewalk and collided with at least one parked vehicle.

As the vehicle turned down a side street, the victim was able to jump out of it while moving, sustaining minor injuries. Witnesses were then able to scare off Bell-Houchens as he was attempting to pull the victim back to the vehicle. The victim received medical attention for her injuries and officers began looking for Bell-Houchens.

With the assistance of Delaware State Police, Bell-Houchens was located at his residence and taken into custody without incident.

Bell-Houchens was charged with:

Kidnapping 1st – Felony B
Possession of a deadly weapon during commission of a felony – Felony B
