PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Additional charges have been filed in a Norristown shooting on Thanksgiving Day that killed a man who had nothing to do with the violence.
Edilberto Moctezuma, 25, was sitting down with his family for Thanksgiving dinner at a home on the corner of Arch and Basin streets when a bullet came through the window and killed him.
Kevon Clarke was arrested and charged with murder in December. Now, police say they have charged two more men with the murder: 19-year-old Savian Creary and 20-year-old Tymere Parker.
Creary was taken into custody. A warrant has been issued and authorities are searching for Parker.
According to charging documents, Clarke was dating Creary’s ex-girlfriend. The three were at a different Thanksgiving celebration earlier in the day. Court documents say a witness testified before a grand jury that Creary and Parker caught a ride with her to Clarke’s house that night. They exchanged gunfire and drove away.
