State police release new photo of suspects in Schuylkill
Pennsylvania State Police on Tuesday released a new photo of two men still on the loose in Schuylkill County after a shooting incident in Cumberland County Sunday. Police know the identity of one of the suspects but are looking for information on the second.
The incident on Sunday began at 12:40 p.m. when a motorist driving north on Interstate 81 near mile marker 57.1, Silver Spring Township, Cumberland County, saw a passenger in a red Toyota Tundra pointing a gun at other motorists.
This vehicle was located by a trooper from PSP-Harrisburg on I-81 near mile marker 78, West Hanover Township, Dauphin County, and a traffic stop was initiated. The red Toyota Tundra initially stopped on the shoulder, however fled shortly thereafter.
The vehicle fled off I-81 to a location in the 7000 block Manor Drive, West Hanover Township, Dauphin County, where an occupant from within fired multiple rounds from a pistol at troopers, striking one patrol vehicle.
The fleeing vehicle reentered I-81 north, later exiting near Frackville, becoming disabled near Walmart, St. Clair Township, Schuylkill County.
Four suspects ran from the car. Two were taken into custody.
The other two male suspects were seen entering the Walmart in St. Clair at the general merchandise entrance.
Inside the store they discarded multiple articles of clothing and shoplifted other clothes, altering their appearance. The males left through the southeast emergency exit.
Troop L Frackville is leading efforts to apprehend the remaining two suspects. One was identified as Jeremiah Begley, 17 years old. He is 5 feet, 8 inches and weighs 172 pounds.
He has brownish/auburn hair and was last seen wearing a Nirvana T-shirt.
Police are asking the public’s help to identify the male in the black shirt and gray sweatpants with long wavy black hair.
Police are asking residents between St. Clair Borough to New Philadelphia Borough to review any camera footage they may have that captures these two suspects and to contact PSP Frackville at 570-874-5300.
