Philadelphia police have arrested a man they say had been on the run after a violent, two-day crime spree that spanned three counties and left two people shot. Zahkee Austin was taken into custody in South Philadelphia Tuesday morning, police said.
Zahkee Austin, 22, was taken into custody in South Philadelphia on Tuesday morning, police said.
At 8 p.m. Sunday, police say, Austin held up a 41-year-old driver at gunpoint on Germantown Avenue, near Hunting Park Avenue, in Nicetown, and stole the driver’s silver Chevrolet Malibu. Austin then used the car to speed away from the scene, they said. Shortly after the home-invasion robbery, Austin drove the Malibu to an Exxon station on South Walnut Street in West Goshen Township, Chester County, where authorities said he once again brandished his gun to steal from another victim.
Around 3:51 a.m., back in Philadelphia, police responded to an armed robbery at a mini market on Ogontz Avenue. They said the victim told them a man in a black mask, green Northface jacket, and black pants came into the store and demanded money from the cash register at gunpoint.
