A late-summer morning dispute in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, ended in gunfire and the death of 31-year-old Otis Harris. On the morning of September 23, 2019, Harris went outside after his nephew, Rayshawn McKay, returned from a fight with another man, Armani Cortez Rhedrick. Witnesses heard three gunshots shortly after Harris stepped outside; he was struck by multiple shotgun wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. The autopsy determined the cause of death to be homicide by those wounds.

Witnesses reported seeing a man carrying a long gun wrapped in a blanket get into a silver Hyundai and leave the area near Scott Street; the shooting occurred close enough to Barth Elementary School that the school was placed on lockdown as children were arriving. A joint investigation by the Pottstown Police Department and Montgomery County detectives led to the identification and person seen fleeing the scene.

Did anyone in the Pottstown area see activity on Scott Street that morning or have information about the silver Hyundai or the person seen leaving the scene?
