POTTSTOWN, PA — The fourth suspect in a gang-related killing in Pottstown who has been wanted for months has been arrested, authorities announced Friday.

Derrick Goins, 26, has been charged in connection with the murder of Keith Robinson, 41, back on March 30.

Two other suspects were arrested months back — Kyshan Brinkley 23, and Jacquan Lee, 26 — while Elijah Davis, 18, was arrested earlier this month. All four suspects are from Pottstown and are believed to be members of the "Bud Gang Bitch" (BGB) gang, named in honor of Jordan "Bud" Peterson, a Pottstown teenager murdered in 2017.
