Daquan Tucker Obituary, Death; – Cody Reed, aged 24, from Norristown, and Marquise Johnson, aged 24, from Philadelphia, have been convicted of the murder of Daquan Tucker, aged 25, from Audubon, Pennsylvania. They were found guilty of murder, conspiracy, robbery, possessing a weapon, and fleeing to avoid arrest in connection with the incident that took place last year along the Schuylkill River Trail in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
On March 2, 2023, at approximately 7 p.m., Tucker visited Reed’s residence in Norristown. All three individuals, Tucker, Reed, and Johnson, were acquainted with each other. They proceeded to walk towards the Schuylkill River Trail in West Norriton that evening. It was during this time that Reed and Johnson shot Tucker multiple times and left him to perish.
The following day, around 9 a.m., a cyclist discovered Tucker’s body approximately 100 feet away from the Schuylkill River Trail. Investigators subsequently identified Reed and Johnson as suspects in Tucker’s murder. On April 6, 2023, at approximately 5:15 p.m., Reed was apprehended by U.S. Marshals, Atlantic City Police, and Atlantic City’s SWAT team at an Airbnb located on North Rhode Island Avenue in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Johnson was not present in the apartment at the time of the arrest.
Later that evening, around 7:30 p.m., Johnson returned to the Airbnb and barricaded himself inside. The standoff continued for several hours until SWAT members entered the apartment at 11:14 p.m. and discovered Johnson hiding inside a washing machine. He was subsequently taken into custody. A judge is expected to formally sentence both Reed and Johnson to life imprisonment at a later date.
