On the evening of February 13, 2025, 27-year-old Cesar Flores-Diaz of Norristown, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed while parking his white Volkswagen on the 800 block of George Street. Police say an assailant who had been hiding in a nearby stairwell ran across the street and fired multiple shots into the driver’s side window, striking Flores-Diaz in the head. Responding officers found the car running with its headlights on and Flores-Diaz deceased inside.

Montgomery County Detectives and Norristown Police reviewed surveillance footage that captured the attack and provided the only description of the suspect: a male with a distinctive gait wearing a unique blue backpack, who fled north on George Street on foot. Authorities have released the video, issued public pleas, and offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

Did anyone in Norristown see someone matching that description near George Street that night, or recognize the backpack or gait?
