Overview
- Police obtained arrest warrants Tuesday for 16-year-olds Kaiseem Smith and Azzubair Outen-Fleming charging them with murder and related offenses in the death of William “Billy” Schmidt.
- Schmidt was fatally shot during what his family calls a likely robbery on June 6 and was pronounced dead at Penn Presbyterian Hospital after being shot in South Philadelphia.
- Neighbors’ security video captured the moments before the shooting, including Schmidt asking for his phone back, and helped police trace the suspects’ movements.
- Police released detailed descriptions of the two suspects, said they discarded masks and hoodies and were later seen in white T-shirts, but their locations remain unconfirmed.
- Authorities urged anyone with information to call 215-686-TIPS and the city posted a $20,000 reward; prosecutors will decide next steps and how juvenile procedures apply if arrests are made.
