The incident began around 1:30 a.m. on June 6, when a mobile phone was allegedly stolen from the victim on the 1900 block of Durfor Street.

Through cooperation between the Philadelphia Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Service, 16-year-old Azzubair Outen-Fleming was caught in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He was found at a relative's home and tried to hide his identity before being arrested; he is now being held pending his transfer back to Philadelphia.
