READING, Pa. – Two men have been charged in connection with the killing of another man in Reading more than six years ago.<\/p>\n

RPD investigators announced Friday that they have obtained warrants for the arrests of Xavier Carrasquillo and Eliezer Carrasquillo on charges of first- and third-degree murder.<\/p>\n

Xavier Carrasquillo surrendered to authorities on Friday; Eliezer Carrasquillo is already in a state prison in Northumberland County for an unrelated case.<\/p>\n

\"2014<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The charges stem from the fatal shooting of a man in the 200 block of South 11th Street on June 11, 2014. Brock Neely died after being shot several times; a second man was shot in the leg.<\/p>\n

Neighbors told the police at the time that they heard as many as 30 shots.<\/p>\n

The police said they believe a third person was involved in the shooting. They’re asking anyone with information that can help them make another arrest in the case to contact detectives by calling 610-655-6116.<\/p>\n
