Teen arrested in Colorado in killing of Penn State student; 2nd suspect surrenders

PHILADELPHIA -- Both teens wanted in the killing of Penn State student Billy Schmidt have been taken into custody.

Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore announced on Wednesday night that 16-year-old Azzubair Outen-Fleming was arrested in Colorado.

Kaiseem Smith, 16, surrendered to Philadelphia police.

Authorities allege the suspects stole Schmidt's cellphone on June 6. As Schmidt chased after the suspects, one of them turned and shot the Penn State senior in the chest.

Schmidt was pronounced dead a short time later.

Both teens are facing murder charges.

The U.S. Marshals Service announced Wednesday that it was offering up to $10,000 in reward money: a $5,000 reward for the arrest of Kaiseem Smith, and another $5,000 for the arrest of Azzubair Outen-Fleming.

That is on top of a $20,000 reward offered by the Philadelphia Police Department for an arrest and conviction in this case.

U.S. Marshals have already arrested Outen-Fleming's stepfather, 35-year-old Dante Abdul Malik. He faces charges, including hindering apprehension and tampering with evidence in connection with the case.

The 22-year-old Penn State senior was gunned down just yards from his family's home around 1:30 a.m.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said investigators believe Smith was the gunman.

"The information that we have seems to indicate Kaiseem Smith is the shooter in this case," Krasner said.

Family members said Schmidt had been returning from a nearby bar where he had been watching an NBA Finals game with friends.

Earlier this month, police released video of the wanted suspects.
