特拉华州多佛返校节枪击案两名嫌疑人落网：一人10月16日被捕，18岁男子10月21日在马里兰州被捕，均被控一级谋杀
多佛（特拉华州）——特拉华州多佛市警察局10月21日通报，该局已逮捕两名与10月10日枪击案有关的男性嫌疑人；枪击发生在多佛公共购物中心（Dover Commons）停车场，造成来自宾夕法尼亚州费城的22岁男子Nasir Cox死亡，另一名21岁男子受伤。案件编号为50-26-36238。警方在通报中表示，特拉华州众议院第59号法案已于10月21日生效，该法案限制执法部门公布被控犯罪人员的姓名与照片，本次通报未公布两名嫌疑人的姓名。
警方称，侦探查明一名22岁多佛男子为涉案枪手之一，已取得对他的逮捕令及其住所搜查令。10月16日约下午1时10分，多佛警察局特种行动反应组、缉毒与有组织犯罪组和刑事调查组的成员前往克劳福德大道（Crawford Avenue）500号街区一处住所，在美国法警局第一州逃犯特遣队和特拉华州警察局协助下执法；该嫌疑人在执法人员表明身份后走出住所，未发生冲突即被拘捕。搜查中，调查人员查获一把9毫米手枪、弹药，以及与枪击时所穿相符的衣物和配饰。侦探另查明一名18岁男性为第二名涉案枪手并取得逮捕令，调查显示他可能身处特拉华州苏塞克斯县或马里兰州东部；10月21日，美国法警局首都地区逃犯特遣队（索尔兹伯里）在马里兰州斯诺希尔（Snow Hill）一处住所将其拘捕，他目前被羁押在马里兰州，等待引渡至特拉华州。
警方称，两名嫌疑人均面临以下指控：一级谋杀、一级谋杀未遂、在实施重罪期间持有枪支（三项）、一级鲁莽危害他人（四项），以及携带隐藏的致命武器。多佛警察局局长Thomas Johnson, Jr.说：「这些逮捕反映了把这样一起复杂而棘手的案件推进到这一阶段所需的坚持、侦查技能和专业精神。我们的调查人员努力查明责任人、形成证据，并跨司法管辖区协调抓捕。我感谢特拉华州警察局、美国法警局第一州逃犯特遣队和首都地区逃犯特遣队索尔兹伯里分队提供的宝贵协助。这些逮捕无法挽回已经造成的伤害，但它们是为受害者、他们的家人和我们的社区伸张正义、追究责任的重要一步。」警方同时注明，所有被告在法庭证明有罪之前均推定无罪。
据警方原始通报，枪击发生在10月10日周六晚约9时19分。此前，特拉华州立大学返校节活动的数千名学生和访客被要求在约下午6时结束活动并离开校园，大批人群聚集到附近几家购物中心和其他地点。当时，来自多佛、纽卡斯尔县、威尔明顿、斯迈纳和卡姆登警察部门以及特拉华州警察局的50多名警员已在该地区执勤疏导人群，应对多起斗殴、无序行为报告和多处枪声报告。约晚9时19分，正在附近停车场管控人群的警员听到数声枪响，看见人们从多佛公共购物中心停车场逃散；警员到场后发现一名21岁男子上身中枪，在救治时又发现第二名受害者Cox，他也身中枪伤。由于大学与几家购物中心之间的13号公路走廊车流人流完全堵塞、可能延误急救，警员立即用警车将两名伤者送往湾区医疗肯特院区（Bayhealth Kent Campus）；Cox后因伤死亡，21岁男子当时住院、情况稳定。警方称调查仍在继续，知情者可拨打多佛警察局刑事调查组电话302-736-7111提供线索，也可通过特拉华州制止犯罪热线或该局在线表格提交，举报人可保持匿名。
Two Suspects Arrested in Fatal Dover Shooting After Delaware State Homecoming Events: One Caught on Oct. 16, an 18-Year-Old Arrested in Maryland on Oct. 21; Both Face First-Degree Murder Charges
DOVER, Delaware — The Dover Police Department said on October 21 that it has arrested two male suspects in connection with the October 10 shooting in the Dover Commons shopping center parking lot that killed Nasir Cox, 22, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and injured a 21-year-old male. The incident number is 50-26-36238. In its release, the department noted that Delaware's House Bill 59, which took effect on October 21, limits law enforcement's release of names and photographs of people charged with crimes, and the release did not name either suspect.
During the investigation, detectives identified a 22-year-old male from Dover as one of the suspected shooters and obtained warrants for his arrest and a search of his residence, police said. On October 16 at approximately 1:10 p.m., members of the department's Special Operations Response Team, Drugs, Vice and Organized Crime Unit, and Criminal Investigations Unit responded to a residence in the 500 block of Crawford Avenue, assisted by the U.S. Marshals Service First State Fugitive Task Force and Delaware State Police; the suspect exited the residence after officers announced their presence and was taken into custody without incident. During the search, investigators recovered a 9mm handgun, ammunition, and clothing and accessories matching those worn during the shooting. Detectives identified an 18-year-old male as the second suspected shooter and obtained an arrest warrant; information indicated he may be in Sussex County, Delaware, or Eastern Maryland. On October 21, members of the U.S. Marshals Service Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force–Salisbury located the 18-year-old at a residence in Snow Hill, Maryland; he was taken into custody without incident and is being held in Maryland pending extradition to Delaware.
Both suspects face charges of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony (three counts), first-degree reckless endangering (four counts), and carrying a concealed deadly weapon, police said. "These arrests reflect the persistence, investigative skill, and professionalism required to bring a complex and challenging case to this stage," Dover Police Chief Thomas Johnson, Jr. said. "Our investigators worked diligently to identify those responsible, develop the evidence, and coordinate apprehensions across jurisdictional boundaries. I am grateful to the Delaware State Police, the U.S. Marshals Service First State Fugitive Task Force, and the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force–Salisbury for their invaluable assistance. While these arrests cannot undo the harm inflicted, they represent an important step toward accountability and justice for the victims, their families, and our community." Police noted that all defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
According to the department's original narrative, the shooting took place on Saturday, October 10, at approximately 9:19 p.m. Prior to the shooting, thousands of students and visitors attending Delaware State University's homecoming events were required to end events and leave campus at approximately 6:00 p.m., resulting in large crowds gathering at several nearby shopping centers and other locations. More than 50 officers from the Dover, New Castle County, Wilmington, Smyrna and Camden police departments, along with Delaware State Police, were already working in the area to manage crowds and respond to large disturbances that included multiple fights, calls for disorderly behavior, and reports of shots fired at multiple locations. At approximately 9:19 p.m., officers controlling crowds in a nearby parking lot heard several gunshots and observed people running from the Dover Commons parking lot; they located a 21-year-old male suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper body and, while rendering aid, located a second victim, Cox, also suffering from gunshot wounds. Because the Route 13 corridor between the university and several shopping centers was completely gridlocked, which would have delayed emergency medical response, officers transported both victims to Bayhealth Kent Campus in police vehicles; Cox later died from his injuries, and the 21-year-old male remained hospitalized and stable at that time. The investigation remains ongoing; anyone with information, photographs or videos from the area around the time of the shooting is asked to contact the Dover Police Department Criminal Investigations Unit at 302-736-7111, or submit tips through Delaware Crime Stoppers or the department's online contact form, and tipsters may remain anonymous, police said.
