Suspect in August 2017 murder captured at south side home 
Members of the EPD Gang Unit, EPD SWAT, EPD Motor Patrol, and the US Marshl’s Task Force arrested DARIUS BUSHROD on a murder warrant on Wednesday night.
Information was gathered that led police to 831 Jefferson. BUSHROD ran out of the back of the house as SWAT began to serve the warrant. He was immediately captured by assiting officers. He was taken into custody without further incident.
BUSHROD was wanted for the shooting death of Anthony Blaylock outside of the Chestnut St American Legion Post. Three other people were injured during the late August shooting.
BUSHROD was featured on local media outlets in the days after the shooting. With the help of his associates, he had evaded law enforcement until Wednesday.
BUSHROD will be held at the Vanderburgh County Jail. A current booking photo will be available when he has been processed into the jail.
He is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
