DSU police make arrests after shooting at off-campus apartments

Delaware State University police arrested two suspects after shots were fired at off-campus apartments earlier this month.

DSU police arrested 18-year-old Tyrone Harrell and a 15-year-old boy – both of Dover – in connection with the Sept. 7 shooting at the Courtyard complex on College Road, just off campus.

No one was injured in the incident.

Harrell was enrolled as a student at Delaware State University. He has since been expelled from the university, although the 15-year-old has no known ties or connections to DSU.

Harrell was arrested just two days after the shooting.

He is accused of three counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, 2^and First-degree conspiracy, three counts of first-degree reckless endangerment, possession of a weapon in a safe school zone, and three counts of criminal damage to property.

The 15-year-old faces the same charges, including two counts of illegal possession of a firearm.

The 15-year-old was taken into custody on September 20 in the 1200 block of White Oak Road by the U.S. Marshals Service First State Fugitive Task Force, the Dover Police Drug and Organized Crime Unit, the Street Crimes Unit and the Delaware Department of Parole and Parole.

After scouting his route, they also found a loaded pistol.
