Ralph Williams, 66, was shot and killed inside his Cherry Street home in Norristown, Pennsylvania, on the evening of January 23, 2019. Three men forced their way into the residence during what investigators say was an attempted robbery reportedly aimed at finding money or drugs. Williams’ son was also shot and survived; one of the intruders, Henry Diaz-Ayala, was stabbed during the struggle. The three men fled the scene.

Norristown police and the Montgomery County Detective Bureau identified the suspects as Justin Mitchell, Henry Diaz-Ayala, and Russell Montalvo-Fernandez. Mitchell and Diaz-Ayala were arrested and charged with offenses including murder and robbery; warrants were issued for Montalvo-Fernandez. Mitchell was convicted at trial of second-degree murder, conspiracy, aggravated assault, and robbery and received a life sentence in March 2022. Diaz-Ayala was also convicted for his role in Williams’ murder.

Does anyone have information about Russell Montalvo-Fernandez’s whereabouts or about the events in the home that night?
