Witnesses To Murder |
|
| |
Philadelphia police are hunting for 40-year-old Duane Bedford -- a man accused of ruthlessly murdering his neighbor in front of several other residents.
On Sunday, May 28, 2006, police responded to a shooting call on Pentridge Street in the city. When cops arrived, they found a man on the ground, dead from a gunshot wound to his head. Several residents stood around, horrified by what they'd just witnessed. |

Argument Turns Violent |
|
| |
When cops began investigating the crime scene and interviewing witnesses, they learned the victim's name was Samuel Brown -- and that his alleged killer's name was Duane Bedford.
According to investigators, the two men got into an argument when Brown accused Bedford of smashing in his car window. Cops say Bedford got angry, and soon, the small fight became a huge blowout that ended with Bedford allegedly taking out a handgun and shooting Brown in the head.
Witnesses say Bedford fled immediately after allegedly shooting Brown -- but they knew who he was because he lived in the neighborhood just several houses from Brown. |

A Close Call |
|
| |
A month went by before investigators received a great lead -- that Bedford might be staying with his father in Charlottesville, Va. Cops went to the house, but they were too late. According to Bedford's father, police had missed the fugitive by just one day.
Cops say Bedford's father had no idea his son was a wanted man and had let him stay there after the alleged murder. But Bedford got word cops were onto him, so cops say he left his hiding place in the nick of time. He hasn't been seen since. |
