HUMMELS WHARF — Three men are accused of killing a 19-year-old man in his apartment Monday night over an argument about marijuana, state police at Selinsgrove said.
Charged in the killing of Steven Rodriguez, 19, of 2078 N. Susquehanna Trail, Apt. 2, Selinsgrove, are alleged shooter David Cannie Jr., 27, of Philadelphia; and two accomplices, Ibrahim Musa Wells, 25, of Mill Hall; and Abdul Malik Saeed Walker, 25, of 1740 Memorial Ave., Williamsport.
Wells told state police that Walker asked him to go to Selinsgrove to assist in confronting people who had stolen marijuana from him days earlier, a criminal complaint said.
The pair, along with Cannie, met at Walker’s girlfriend’s apartment in White Deer Commons in New Columbia and together the trio drove to Rodriguez’s apartment above the Rental Shop off Routes 11-15 at about 11:30 p.m. Monday.
