PROVIDENCE – An 18-year-old South Providence man has been identified by the police this morning as the victim of a fatal stabbing last night outside La Rumba nightclub on Broad Street.

The police found Darren Reagans outside the club when they were called to the scene because of a stabbing.

Reagans was taken to Rhode Island Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to the police report on the incident.

Reagans' brother, Marquis Brooks, was also killed at age 18, the victim of a shooting nine years ago. Brooks was the passenger in a parked car when a man on foot shot a gun at the car, striking Brooks and two others.

Reagans was a student in an alternative education program, according to a spokeswoman for the Providence schools. He played for Central High School's basketball team this past year.

He was the father of one child, and expecting another.
