Quinzell Mickey, a 41-year-old from Spring City, surrendered to Philadelphia police on Tuesday, Aug. 1, said District Attorney Deb Ryan's Office in a release.
Investigators have previously claimed that Mickey gunned down 32-year-old William Stafford outside the Park Springs Apartment Community in East Vincent Township in the early morning hours on Saturday, April 15.
Surveillance video shows that Mickey and Stafford arrived at the complex in the same Ford Taurus minutes before the shooting, police have said. Stafford is seen standing outside of the car while Mickey "walked to the trunk, re-entered the driver’s seat, exited again," and then shot the 32-year-old point blank, authorities said.
After Stafford was on the ground, Mickey walked over and shot him twice more, police claimed. He was also seen punching Stafford and rummaging through his pockets before running off, they added.
"After being on the run for four months the defendant finally realized that it was time to face the repercussions of his actions," DA Ryan said.
"Law enforcement spent countless hours trying to track him down and the community is safer now that he is behind bars."
Court filings show Mickey was denied bail at his arraignment Tuesday and was remanded to a county lockup ahead of his preliminary hearing on Aug. 14.
