Racine Police say arrest solves 2005 drive-by killing

Racine Police announced today that they have solved a three-year old killing. Arrested is Deadrian L. Bostick, 21, charged with three felony counts in a drive-by shooting that left a man dead on June 24, 2005.

The criminal complaint alleges that Bostick was a rear passenger in a vehicle with several others, when he noticed several “Vice Lords” driving around in a different vehicle. Bostick saw that vehicle parked in the driveway at 829 Park Ave., and "leaned out of the car firing several shots towards the area. Darius J. Harlan was struck and killed by the gunfire," police said. Police said Harlan did not appear to be the intended target as he had left the home moments before the shots were fired.

Bostick is charged with repeat counts of first degree intentional homicide, use of a dangerous weapon and reckless endangerment.

  1. The phrase "3-year-old killing sounded" to me like a 3 year old child was killed. I am glad I was mistaken.
