Second Delco Man Charged In Fatal Montco Bowling Alley Shooting

LANSDOWNE, PA — Another man from Delaware County has been charged in connection with a deadly shooting at a Montgomery County bowling alley that occurred last weekend.

Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele said Raymir Johnson, 20, of Lansdowne, was charged with two felony counts of hindering apprehension/prosecution related to the Feb. 20 fatal shooting that occurred inside Our Town Alley in East Norriton Township.

Authorities said Johnson was one of the two men who entered the bowling alley with 17-year-old Jamel Barnwell, of Upper Darby, who is now charged with first-degree murder and multiple other charges related to killing 29-year-old Frank Wade and shooting four other men.

The incident occurred the evening of Feb. 20 at the bowling alley.

Authorities learned three men, one of whom was identified as Barnwell and another as Johnson, entered the bowling alley at about 6:39 p.m

At 6:42 p.m., a physical altercation involving the victims, Barnwell, Johnson, and another suspect ensued, authorities said. Barnwell pulled a firearm with an extended magazine from inside his jacket and started shooting, according to authorities. Then the three men fled the bowling alley, leaving behind three cell phones, one of which belonged to Barnwell.

Johnson is accused of being the getaway driver, effectuating Barnwell’s escape after the incident, authorities said.

He was arraigned and held after failing to post $250,000 cash bail.

Johnson's preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 8.
