A man wanted in connection with the robbery and fatal shooting of Penn State student Billy Schmidt is now also being sought after an alleged shootout with an off-duty police officer. Kaiseem Smith remains a fugitive after a second suspect, a 16-year-old, was arrested in Colorado by US Marshals in relation to Schmidt's killing. Both teenage suspects are being charged as adults over the incident, which has drawn wider attention amid concern about repeat offenders and violent crime affecting college communities.

Philadelphia police say the case stems from a robbery and shooting on 6 June that led to Schmidt's death. Authorities have issued a wanted poster for Smith as the search continues, while the arrested 16-year-old faces adult charges over the same incident. Details of the reported shootout involving an off-duty officer have added urgency to efforts to locate Smith.
