A Norristown teen was charged with murder Thursday for killing a bystander while shooting at a neighborhood rival in October, prosecutors said.
Anthony Vitelli was caught in the crossfire of two rival teens as he walked down a street in Norristown in October, police said.
“The evidence indicates this was an attempted retaliatory killing that instead killed an innocent man,” Steele said Thursday. “We are working to interrupt this cycle of violence in Norristown and elsewhere in Montgomery County to make our communities safe from these senseless killings by young men with guns.”
“He was a great husband and a wonderful father,” she said. “This was all over a senseless act of violence. It could’ve been avoided.”
