PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A third suspect wanted in connection with the killing of a West Philadelphia recreation center employee in 2022 has been caught.
Police say Tevan Kee, 19, was picked up Wednesday night in Lower Pottsgrove Township, Montgomery County, during a traffic stop.
Kee is believed to be one of the gunmen in a shootout at the Mill Creek Recreation Center at 47th and Brown streets that killed Tiffany Fletcher on Sept. 9, 2022. She was shot in the stomach by a stray bullet and later died at the hospital.
“Our fugitive task force went down there today and he’s been taken here to the homicide division and he’s expected to be processed today for murder,” said Philadelphia Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore.
Vanore believes everyone involved in this case is now in custody.
Malik Flegler and Makie Jones pleaded guilty last year to third-degree murder. Both were sentenced to at least a decade in prison.
Kee, who was 16 at the time, is expected to be charged with murder and gun offenses.
