One of four men being sought for the deadly shooting of a 27-year-old man in Pottstown was captured by members of the U.S. Marshals Service, authorities announced Wednesday.
Authorities declined to provide any information about 22-year-old Dajon Harrison's arrest other than the fact that he was apprehended by members of the U.S. Marshals Service in Philadelphia.
Samir Bentley, 20, Ahmed Mohammed, 16, both of Philadelphia, and Eric Baker, 26, of Norristown, are still wanted in connection with the fatal shooting of Robert Stiles on Oct. 23, according to the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office.
Officers arrived at 429 E. High St. around 8:30 p.m. and discovered Stiles lying on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds, according to Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele and Pottstown Police Chief Mick Markovich.
He was rushed to Reading Hospital, where he later died of his injuries, authorities said.
Investigators were able to find city surveillance cameras that captured the homicide. Stiles was robbed, according to recent video and audio evidence obtained by the DA's office.
The video shows him being grabbed by Mohammed, who pulls him into an area in front of 429 High Street, before Bentley and Harrison approach, investigators said.
Harrison pulls a gun from his waistband and hands it to Bentley, who shoots Stiles three times, and he falls to the ground. The three men then run to a dark-colored minivan, according to the DA's office.
As the minivan pulls away, Baker is seen firing an assault rifle at the minivan as it flees, authorities said.
Stiles was seen discarding a clear plastic bag, which was recovered and found to contain multiple ounces of marijuana, the DA's office said.
Harrison was charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, third-degree murder, criminal conspiracy, and related charges.
He was sent to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility with bail denied.
His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 10.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Bentley, Mohammed, or Baker is urged to contact Pottstown police at 610-970-6570 or call the Montgomery County Detectives’ Tip Line at 610-278-DOIT (3638).
