Julian Pasley
Malik BlackstockA 19-year-old man has been arrested and charged with criminal homicide in Tuesday night's deadly shooting at Windsor Terrace Apartments.
Witnesses said Julian Pasley fired the shot that killed Malek Blackstock, 18, around 11:45 p.m. last night at 2300 Windsor Street.
One witness said Pasley pulled a revolver out of his pants and played with the cylinder of the revolver, and then the witness heard a gunshot. Other witnesses saw Pasley fleeing the scene with blood on his face and on his shirt.
Pasley claimed the shooting was an accident, according to his affidavit. He told one witness not to speak with police, the affidavit states.
Blackstock had been shot at least once before, according to Times Free Press archives. He was wounded during a shootout in December.
A friend who asked not to be identified because she doesn't want any controversy about Blackstock's death to involve her said he was a good guy.
"He was well known in school because he was funny, sweet and very caring," she said. "Malik was never a disrespecting person. I'm just very lucky to have met him. I'm truly sadden by his passing."
