Summary
$10,000 in new U.S. Marshals rewards was announced Wednesday for information leading to the arrests of Kaiseem Smith and Azzubair Outen-Fleming, both 16, in the fatal shooting of Penn State student Billy Schmidt.
Warrants tie the teens to the June 6 robbery and killing in South Philadelphia, where Schmidt, 22, was shot in the chest around 1:30 a.m. after chasing someone who had taken a cellphone, according to surveillance video described by police.
Smith was charged Sunday and Outen-Fleming on Monday, prosecutors said; officials warned both juveniles should be considered armed and dangerous and said the Marshals will pay upon arrest, not conviction.
The federal reward adds to a $20,000 Philadelphia police offer for an arrest and conviction, as investigators continue seeking tips on a case that has drawn wide attention in the city and at Penn State.
