3 Men Wanted In Norristown Killing With Illegal 'Switch' Gun: DA

NORRISTOWN, PA — Three men are wanted after a man was robbed and killed in Norristown earlier this month, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office announced Wednesday.

Damon Brantley Jr., 18, of Norristown, Daquan Allen, 29, of Norristown, and Jerry Butler,28, of Philadelphia have all been charged with first and second degree murder, and robbery. A $2,000 reward has been posted for information leading to their arrest.

The incident occurred on Jan. 20 at around 7:40 p.m. on the zero block of West Wood Street in Norristown.

The trio were captured on video running from a gray Toyota RAV-4 and toward the victim, William Carter. They then robbed him before Brantley fired three shots at him, hitting him in the head and killing him, police said.

Authorities said they believe that the weapon has an illegal "switch" attached to it that allows it to fire extremely quickly, essentially becoming a fully automatic weapon.

Brantley was matched to the video surveillance in the incident because he wore the same clothing in the same vehicle to a Norristown High School basketball game earlier that day, police said.

The vehicle was stolen from Cheltenham on Dec. 21.
