A second suspect has been charged in the April 14 shooting death of 18-year-old Corey Mumford, a senior and basketball player at Laurel High School, according to Delaware State Police.
Donregus Holland, of Hurlock, Maryland, was arrested Thursday in Hurlock and charged with first-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a person prohibited, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and first-degree conspiracy, police said. In April, police arrested 27-year-old Jhalir Henry, of Delmar, in Salisbury, Maryland, on similar charges.
Mumford was walking with friends in the Wexford Village apartment complex the Friday afternoon he was shot and killed. His mother called him “a good kid” and police have said he was not the target of the shooting. He was a talented Laurel High School basketball player with plans to play in college.
BACKGROUND:The high school senior killed in Laurel is one of 3 shot last week in separate incidents
Holland was taken into custody in Hurlock. He’s being held in Maryland until he can be extradited to Delaware, as is Henry.
Mumford’s death remains under investigation and state police said they are “working to identify other suspects involved in this case.” No other information has been released.
MORE:‘He did not deserve this.’ Laurel High senior was not the target in last week’s shooting.
