A 16-year-old wanted for the fatal shooting of Penn State student Billy Schmidt was captured in Colorado after a month-long manhunt, while his stepfather faces charges for allegedly helping the teenager flee across the country following the deadly South Philadelphia robbery.

Fatal Robbery on Philadelphia Streets

Billy Schmidt, 21, was walking home from an NBA Finals watch party around 1:30 a.m. on June 6 when two masked teenagers approached him on a South Philadelphia street. Azzubair Outen-Fleming and Kaiseem Smith, both 16, allegedly grabbed Schmidt’s phone before punching him and rifling through his pockets. Surveillance footage captured the attackers shoving the Penn State student off the road and knocking him to the ground before walking away from the scene.

Schmidt pursued the pair, pleading for his phone back. Outen-Fleming allegedly threw the device down the street, and the two suspects split up as Schmidt continued following Smith. The 4-foot-10 teen suspect then pulled a gun from his back pocket and fired a single shot, striking Schmidt in the chest. Both attackers fled the area in an SUV while Schmidt was rushed to Penn-Presbyterian Medical Center, where doctors pronounced him dead.

Cross-Country Manhunt Ends in Colorado

Outen-Fleming evaded capture for nearly a month before law enforcement tracked him to a distant relative’s home in Colorado, thousands of miles from the crime scene. His stepfather, Donte Abdulmalik, 35, was arrested hours earlier on Wednesday for allegedly transporting the teenager out of Philadelphia to the western hideout. Abdulmalik faces charges of hindering apprehension, obstruction of justice, and tampering with evidence. Authorities placed Outen-Fleming in the Zebulon Pike Youth Center while he awaits extradition to Pennsylvania.

Second Suspect Remains at Large

Smith continues to evade authorities, prompting officials to offer a $5,000 reward for information leading to his capture. Both teenagers face murder, robbery, and conspiracy to murder charges, among other crimes, according to District Attorney Larry Krasner’s office. Schmidt’s father told reporters his son was a kind person studying digital journalism and media at Penn State World Campus in Centre County. The grieving father called for justice, describing the shooting as a travesty against someone who never hurt anyone and cared deeply about others.
