NORRISTOWN, PA — Authorities have announced charges against two men for the July murder of a Norristown teen, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office announced Tuesday. One has been arrested, while a $1,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest of the other.

Isiah "Zay" Freeman, 18, of Norristown, is still being sought, while William Durell Wilson, 30, has already been arrested, authorities said. Both face first-degree murder charges and related counts.

The incident occurred on Thursday, July 6 at around 6:32 p.m. on the 600 block of Chain Street, according to police.

Jordan Scott, 16, was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at Mercy Suburban Hospital at 7:28 p.m., the DA said. Another teenager with Scott was suffering from a gunshot wound to the ankle.
