“Just For A Phone”: 16-Year-Old Killer Of Penn State Student Caught Hiding 1,500 Miles Away In Colorado — Stepdad Busted For Helping Him Escape!

Colorado Springs — After a month-long manhunt that stretched across the entire country, authorities finally caught the teenage suspect accused of gunning down a promising Penn State student in cold blood — all over a stolen cellphone.

Azzubair Outen-Fleming, 16, was arrested Wednesday in Colorado Springs by the U.S. Marshals Service after trying to deny who he was when they kicked in the door at a distant relative’s house.

Just hours earlier, his 35-year-old stepfather, Donte Abdulmalik, was taken into custody back in Philadelphia for allegedly helping smuggle the teen across the country to hide him.

The brutal killing happened just after 1:30 a.m. on June 6 in South Philadelphia. Billy Schmidt, a 21-year-old third-year Penn State student studying digital journalism, was walking home from watching the NBA Finals at a local bar when two masked teens ambushed him.

Surveillance video captured the nightmare: the pair snatched his phone, punched him, rifled through his pockets, then threw the phone down the street when he begged for it back. As Billy chased after them, one of the teens — identified as Kaiseem Smith — allegedly pulled a gun from his waistband and shot him point-blank in the chest.

Schmidt was rushed to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Both Outen-Fleming and Smith, also 16, now face charges of murder, robbery, and criminal conspiracy.

While Outen-Fleming is now locked up at a youth detention center in Colorado awaiting extradition, Smith — described as just 4-foot-10 — remains on the run. Police are offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.

Billy’s devastated father, Bill Schmidt, previously told reporters: “I want to find the two people and make them pay. He was a really good person who cared about everybody. He never hurt or bothered a soul… for him to get shot like that is a travesty.”

The heartbreaking case has once again sparked outrage over teen violence and senseless street crime in America.
