Federal Authorities Join Manhunt For Norristown Murder Suspect: Police

NORRISTOWN, PA — U.S. Marshals have joined the manhunt for the third suspect in the killing of 19-year-old Hamid Boyd in Norristown just after Thanksgiving.

Federal authorities will assist the Montgomery County Detectives and Norristown police in tracking down Ziyker Washington, 20.

Washington, also known as "Keer," has been ongoing for weeks. Police said he should be considered armed and dangerous. He's known to frequent Norristown, King of Prussia, and Philadelphia.

Washington is 5 feet, 8 inches tall and 120 pounds. He has an anchor tattoo on his left forearm, and a tattoo that reads "Wanda" with a rose on his right inner arm.

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.
