CRIME: Police arrest suspect in Ferry Ave. slaying
Niagara Gazette
One of two men being sought in connection with a Falls homicide is now in custody and charged with murder.
Falls detectives picked up Darrius “D” Molson, 26, whose last known address was an apartment at the Garden Village complex in Cheektowaga, at a home on 19th Street about 10 a.m. Friday.
“We received a tip that he was in an apartment at 1004 19th St. in the rear,” Detective Capt. Ernest Palmer said. “We went there and he was arrested without incident.”
Molson was charged with second-degree murder for the shooting death of Deion Wood. Wood, 27, 563 24th St., who was gunned down as he sat on a porch in the 1900 block of Ferry Avenue in the early morning hours June 13.
Detectives are now concentrating their efforts on finding Phillip “Country” Holloway, 21, of Texas City, Texas.
“We are still looking for (Holloway),” Palmer said, “and our investigation is continuing.”
Neither Molson nor Holloway are strangers to law enforcement. Molson was one of 10 people arrested in drug raids at a pair of 20th Street crack houses in March.
Holloway reportedly has an arrest record in Texas and may be linked to crimes in Buffalo.
“We believe (Holloway) has been around here for a couple of months,” Palmer said. “It appears he has some contacts in Niagara Falls.”
Palmer said Holloway should be considered armed and dangerous.
Officers responded to a call of “shots fired” early last Saturday and found Wood in front of a Ferry Avenue home where he had been sitting with a woman. Witnesses said two suspects approached Wood and opened fire with a silver handgun.
Wood suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his lower body, according to police. Neighbors reported hearing at least five shots. They then saw two men dressed in black running from the scene.
The suspects were last seen in the 500 block of 20th Street getting into a dark four-door vehicle.
Investigators confirmed that Wood was on parole for a previous criminal conviction, but have remained tight-lipped regarding a motive for the murder.
Anyone with information on Holloway’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Criminal Investigation Division at 286-4553 or 286-4711.
Contact reporter Rick Pfeiffer at 282-2311, ext. 2252.
