Charges have been filed in magisterial district court against two men, one of whom was a Shippensburg University student, in connection with the Oct. 6 shooting during a drug deal near High Street that resulted in the death of one man and injury of another.
Police filed charges against Samir Rodney Stevenson, 21, of Philadelphia, in the shooting death of Shakur Richard Myers, 21, also of Philadelphia. Myers was found dead beside a vehicle on Rotz Avenue, an alley behind High Street after the 7:55 p.m. shooting.
Stevenson, who was critically injured in the shooting, was charged with criminal homicide; manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver; conspiracy; and receiving stolen property. He is being held without bail in the Cumberland County Prison awaiting his Nov. 25 preliminary hearing.
Former SU student Quentin Eric Furlow, 20, of Philadelphia, was charged with several drug offenses as well as other offenses related to the incident. Police charged Furlow with the manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to deliver, hindering apprehension, flight to avoid apprehension, criminal use of a communication facility and tampering with evidence.
Furlow had been considered a “person of interest” in the case prior to the filing of charges on Saturday. Furlow is still at large. Furlow may be driving a gray 2011 Infiniti G37 with Pennsylvania registration KZJ4211, according to police.
Homicide charges were previously filed on Oct. 25 against a fourth man involved in the incident. Police charged Clayton S. Wilson, 20, of Philadelphia, with criminal homicide, criminal attempt to commit criminal homicide, two counts of aggravated assault, firearms not to be carried without a license and recklessly endangering another person, according to police.
Furlow and Wilson are no longer students at SU, according to SU officials.
