Philly Men Wanted For Montgomery County Killing

PHILADELPHIA — Two Philadelphia men are wanted in connection with a Montgomery County killing.

Montgomery County authorities are offering rewards for information leading to the arrest of Samir Bentley, 20, and Ahmed Mohammed, 16, both of Philadelphia. A$2,500 reward is available for information on each man.

Bentley and Mohammed are wanted to face first-degree murder charges for the Oct. 23 shooting death of Robert Stiles on East High Street in Pottstown.

Police were called to 429 E. High St. in Pottstown at 8:26 a.m. on Oct. 23.

An officer found Stiles lying on the sidewalk suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was later pronounced dead at Reading Hospital.

Stiles's killing was caught on multiple surveillance cameras, which showed that Stiles
was being robbed.

Video shows the victim was grabbed by Mohammed, who pulls him into an area in front of 429 E. High St., then Bentley and Daijon Harrison — who is in custody — approach, authorities said.

Harrison was seen pulling out a gun from his waistband, handing it to Bentley, who then shot Stiles three times, and he falls to the sidewalk, authorities said.

The three men then run to a dark-colored minivan, according to authorities.

Stiles was seen discarding a clear plastic bag, which was recovered and found to contain multiple ounces of marijuana, authorities said.

"These two defendants went looking for the victim and when they found him, they shot him dead, using a firearm that neither man was legally allowed to possess," Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele said. "This is a chilling murder, and we need to get them off the street and behind bars."

Bentley is 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs about 130 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes.

Mohammed is 5 feet, 3 inches tall and weighs about 120 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes. Bentley and Mohammed are considered armed and dangerous.

If anyone sees either of them, do not approach them and instead call 911. Anyone with information on whereabouts should call Pottstown Police at 610-970-6570 or Montgomery County Detectives at 610-226-5553.
