Ryan Grace Arrested, Charged With First-Degree Murder in Pottstown Stabbing

A public reward drew a tip that located the suspect within minutes.

Overview

  • Police say the fatal attack inside a Walnut Street apartment on Wednesday left Shaquille Kare Nicholas, 33, with a stab wound to the chest.
  • The coroner ruled the death a homicide after an autopsy found the chest wound as the cause.
  • Surveillance video showed Grace running from the building holding a pointed, knife-like object, and a witness reported an argument in Nicholas’s bedroom.
  • After a $1,000 reward was announced, detectives received a location tip about 15 minutes later and arrested 37-year-old Ryan Grace.
  • Grace is held without bail at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility as he awaits arraignment, with no motive or relationship details released by officials.
