Spring City Area Man Wanted In Execution-Style Murder: DA

EAST VINCENT, PA —A 41-year-old East Vincent Township man is wanted in connection with a fatal shooting early Saturday morning in East Vincent Township, near Spring City, police said.

Quinzell Chucky Mickey is accused of killing William Stafford, 33, who was a passenger in his vehicle just after 2:30 a.m. Saturday in the parking lot at the Park Spring Apartment Community.

Police said they captured the slaying on the apartment complex’s surveillance video.

“This was a senseless, cold-blooded, execution-syle murder," Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryan said. “The defendant had no legal right to own a gun and now has tragically ended the life of a young man who leaves behind a family, including his children.”

East Vincent Township Police Chief Matt Williams asked the public for help in locating Mickey, who resided in the apartment complex. Police said the victim also resided in the apartment complex.

Police said they later found .40-caliber ammunition and a white shirt that appeared to have blood stains on it in the suspect's apartment, according to a probable cause filed to support the arrest warrant.

“Law enforcement is working around the clock to find him, and we will not stop until he is behind bars,” Williams said. “He is considered armed and dangerous. Call 911 if he’s seen.”

First-degree murder carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison.

According to the police arrest warrant:

Police were dispatched shortly after 2:30 a.m. to the Park Springs Apartment Community at 110 Park Spring Blvd. for a report of a shooting.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

A surveillance video showed Mickey exiting the driver's seat and the victim exiting the passenger seat of a Ford Taurus at 2:28 a.m. in the parking lot.

The suspect then walked to the trunk of the car, re-entered the driver’s seat, exited again, and shot the victim while he was standing next to the car.

The victim fell to the ground, and the defendant walked over to him, and while standing over him, he shot the victim twice more.

The video also showed the suspect punching the victim after he was shot and on the ground, and then removing unidentified items from the victim’s clothing.

The suspect was wearing a white t-shirt, dark pants, and white sneakers, with a jacket or hooded sweatshirt in his hands. He is five feet and eight inches tall and weighs approximately 300 pounds.
