Reading Police identified a 16-year-old male as the primary suspect and located him three days later, on September 15, 2023, in the 1100 block of Scott Street. With assistance from the Berks County Emergency Response Team, officers coordinated an operation that resulted in the juvenile’s peaceful surrender. Because of the severity of the crime, the 16-year-old was charged as an adult with first-degree and third-degree murder and additional offenses. A GoFundMe was set up to help the family with funeral expenses. The motive and full circumstances remain under investigation.
