Second man held in connection to drive-by shooting

A second Johnson County man appeared in court Friday charged with three counts of aggravated battery in connection with a drive-by shooting near The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St., that injured two KU students and one University of Chicago student March 26.

Derek Foster, 24, of Stillwell, was arrested after Lawrence Police issued a warrant Thursday afternoon for aggravated battery and assisting a felon. Foster’s bond was set at $125,000, which the judge upheld in the appearance Friday. Foster requested that the amount be lowered because he was a full-time student and also needed to assist in caring for his father.

Prosecutors said Foster was responsible for the shooting near 14th and Ohio streets because he “aided, abetted, advised or counselled” Joseph A. Muhammad, 22, of Overland Park. Foster was allegedly the driver in the drive-by shooting.

Muhammad was arrested in connection with the shooting March 26 in Johnson County. He also appeared in court Friday for a pre-scheduled preliminary hearing. At that hearing, Judge Michael Malone granted a motion by the state to postpone the hearing until 2:30 p.m. April 24.

Matt Lett, Salina senior, Alex Thies, Shawnee sophomore and Justin Lucas, 21, University of Chicago student, were injured in the shooting.

Foster’s next appearance will be 2 p.m. April 15. Both Muhammad and Foster remain in custody at the Douglas County Jail.

Yes.

"Hate crimes (also known as bias-motivated crimes) occur when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her membership in a certain social group, usually defined by racial group, religion, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender, gender identity, or political affiliation"

I'm going to have to go with "maybe" here. Also, I would suggest you go back to stormfront so you can be with your own people.

I don't associate with lower organisms like women and dogs. Maybe connerm could help you out.

Possibly. Normal people would need to be on some sort of a bender to go there. But like I said, you should probably go back there to be with your own kind.
