Norristown Murder Suspect Still In Area, Hair May Have Changed: DA

NORRISTOWN, PA — The suspect in the murder of a Norristown teen in late November is believed to still be in the area, and he may have changed his hair, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office said on Tuesday.

The update comes as the office posted a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the man, 20-year-old Ziyker Washington.

Two others have already been arrested and charged with first degree murder in the Nov. 30 killing of Hamid Boyd. Mark Fields, 18, of Norristown, was arrested on Dec. 12, while Theodore Adams, 17, of Philadelphia, was arrested on Dec. 16.

But Washington, also known as "Keer," has evaded law enforcement for weeks now.

Washington is 5 feet, 8 inches tall and 160 pounds. He has an anchor tattoo on his left forearm, and a tattoo that reads "Wanda" with a rose on his right inner arm.

U.S. Marshals announced late last week that they had also joined the manhunt.

If you have any information on Washington, call Norristown Police at 610-270-0977 or Montgomery County Detectives at 610-278-3386.
