An 18-year-old guy is wanted for arrest in connection with a shooting that killed someone in Norristown. The suspect, Jabril Morgan-Cook, is wanted for first-degree murder in the death of Tahaj Harrison, who was 20 years old.
The terrible event happened on May 23 in the 600 block of Corson Street, which has been the site of a long-running feud between two groups that don’t get along. Harrison was killed with a gun during what police say was a fight between these groups. The community is shocked and saddened by this tragedy.
Norristown Police say that two other people, a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old, have already been caught and charged for their parts in the shooting. The fact that such young suspects were involved shows how serious the problem of youth violence is getting in the area. This makes safety worries about Norristown and the neighborhoods around it even stronger.
Police are stepping up their search for Morgan-Cook while they keep working to bring justice to Harrison’s family. A $5,000 prize is now being offered for any information that leads to his location. People in the area and the rest of the world are being asked to come forward if they know anything that could help.
Norristown Police said in a statement that people should stay alert and careful, but they also asked people to help make sure that justice is done for the victim’s family. Harrison’s death has had a big effect on the people who knew him. His family and friends are sad that he had to die so young.
“This violent act makes no sense, and we’re doing everything we can to find the person who did it,” said Chief of Police Mark Talbot. “We urge anyone with information, no matter how small it may seem, to come forward and help us bring closure to this case.”
While the murder investigation is still going on, the police are asking the community to work together to stop this kind of violence and to speak out against the cycle of vengeance and payback that often leads to these kinds of crimes. They want everyone to know that when they give tips, their privacy is protected.
The cops are still looking into all possible leads because the case is still open. According to the police, anyone who knows where Jabril Morgan-Cook is should call the Norristown Police Department or use the anonymous tip line.
For now, the people of Norristown have to deal with yet another terrible loss while hope for justice and a safer future for the next generation.
