Worrell, Roland, and Morgan-Cook belonged to a group called the All Black Bandits/300s, which was fueling with another faction called the the Grimy Boys/6’s, which Harrison belonged to, investigators said.

Both gangs are well known to law enforcement and have a history of violent conflict, according to authorities.

In the four hours leading up to the killing, Worrell and Harrison exchanged numerous messages regarding the feud, and Worrell found a post by Harrison about the killing of a recent group member to be disrespectful, officials said.

Roland, Worrell, and Morgan-Cook approached Harrison on Corson Street in front of a house and all three fired several shots at him before fleeing the scene, the DA said.

Harrison staggered a few homes away to his backyard, where he collapsed. He was pronounced dead by first responders at the scene.

The three shooters fled to a home on Oak Street, and then to another home in Norristown, before taking an Uber somewhere in Delaware County, according to the DA.

Roland and Worrell were booked at Montgomery County Youth Detention Center without bail, and a preliminary hearing is set for June 13.

Morgan-Cook is 5 feet, 10 inches tall and 140 pounds. He should be considered armed and dangerous, police said. Anyone who sees him should not approach him and should call 911 immediately.

If you have information on Morgan-Cook, contact Montgomery County Detectives at 610-278-3386 or Norristown Police at 610-270-0977.
