3rd Norristown Murder Suspect 'Armed And Dangerous', Manhunt Underway: DA

NORRISTOWN, PA — The third man wanted in the killing of a Norristown teenager just after Thanksgiving should be considered "armed and dangerous," authorities said, as a manhunt got underway this week.

Zikyer Washington, 20, of Norristown, has been charged with first degree murder in the shooting death of 19-year-old Hamid Boyd.

Two others have also been charged with first degree murder but are already in custody. Mark Fields, 18, of Norristown, was arrested on Dec. 12, while Theodore Adams, 17, of Philadelphia, was arrested on Dec. 16.

The incident occurred on Sunday, Nov. 30 on the 1000 block of Powell Street.

The trio were a part of a gang called "1200," which rivals a different gang called "The Ave," which Boyd was a part of, police said. Two days before the killing, the three posed for a social media photo on Washington's account with Washington holding a gun in the air and the caption reading "MAN (expletive) DA AVE,"authorities said.

On the afternoon of Sunday, Nov. 30, the three men were together at an apartment on Johnson Highway. Police said they left and drove in a white Chevrolet Cruze, owned by Washington's girlfriend, to the 1000 block of Powell Street.

That's where they shot Boyd several times as he walked home from the store, and then fled the scene and returned to the Johnson Highway apartment, the DA said.
