Azzubair Outen-Fleming, 16, was captured by US Marshals in Colorado Springs and now faces murder charges in Philadelphia
A Pennsylvania teenager believed to be responsible for the death of Penn State student Billy Schmidt, who was shot as he walked home from an NBA Finals watch party, was arrested at the Colorado home of a distant relative following a month-long manhunt, hour before his accomplice surrendered to police, authorities said Thursday.
Azzubair Outen-Fleming, 16, was captured in Colorado Springs by the U.S. Marshals Service after he tried to deny his true identity, the agency said. He is being housed at a juvenile detention center pending extradition to Philadelphia.
On Tuesday, officials issued warrants for Outen-Fleming and 16-year-old Kaiseem Smith, who was also allegedly involved in the shooting death. Smith surrendered to the Philadelphia Police Department, the Marshals Service said hours after announcing Outen-Fleming’s capture.
