Three Charged In Deadly Snyder County Shooting

Three Charged In Deadly Snyder County Shooting - Tuesday, May 12, 2009 at 5:55PM EST

Monroe Township, Snyder County-
A Selinsgrove man is dead and three suspects are in custody following a shooting Monday night. And police say it may all be over some stolen drugs.

According to state troopers, 19-year-old Steven Rodriguez was killed in an apartment along Routes 11 and 15 near Selinsgrove just after 11 Monday night.

Three suspects allegedly went to the apartment to confront Rodriguez about some stolen marijuana.

They are Ibrahim Wells, of Mill Hall, David Cannie Jr., of Philadelphia, and Abdul Walker, of Williamsport.

Cannie allegedly shot Rodriguez once in the left leg and once in the chest.

Snyder County District Attorney Michael Sholley confirmed, “Stephen Rodriguez was pronounced dead at the Sunbury Community Hospital as a result of the gunshot wounds.”

We’re told three witnesses to the shooting alerted police.

The suspects were spotted fleeing on Route 15 north of Lewisburg. After a brief car chase and foot pursuit, all three suspects were arrested within about an hour of the shooting.

Sholley noted, “All three were charged with homicide, conspiracy to commit homicide, aggravated assault, burglary, and possession of instruments of crime and other charges.”

We’re told the three guns were recovered from an apartment at White Deer Commons in New Columbia.

More than a dozen police agencies assisted with the investigation. People who live in the area were shocked by the commotion.

Tyler Moyer, of Freeburg, said, “It’s just definitely surprising to hear something like that. I mean it’s a quiet area and everything. You expect to hear something like that in a bigger city or something.”

Walker, Wells, and Cannie are locked up at the Snyder County Prison. They are not eligible for bail because of the homicide charge.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 22nd.
