PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) \u2014 More than three years after a hit-and-run killed a teenage cyclist in Northeast Philadelphia, Philadelphia police and the U.S. Marshals Service announced the arrest of a suspect in the case.<\/p>\n
Billy McWilliams was 16 years old in July 2023 when he was struck by a vehicle<\/a> while crossing the intersection of Woodhaven and Byberry Roads on his mountain bike. The driver sped away, and police said days later that they had found the striking vehicle<\/a>, a stolen Dodge Charger, several miles away in Mayfair.<\/p>\n Philadelphia police have been searching for the driver ever since. They got a lead of a possible address where the suspect they were looking for may have been staying, and Thursday morning, they arrested 22-year-old Robert Reynolds at an apartment on the 9200 block of Blue Grass Road in the Northeast with help from U.S. Marshals.<\/p>\n USMS Supervisory Deputy Robert Clark noted that there is still a well-maintained memorial at the site of the accident.<\/p>\n \u201cI go home that way, and I pass that memorial every day, and I just feel so horrible for the family. So when we got the call to assist in the arrest of Reynolds, I was thrilled to put the job together and that there was going to be closure for the family.\u201d<\/p>\n Reynolds was charged with vehicular homicide, involuntary manslaughter, and related offenses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) \u2014 More than three years after a hit-and-run killed a teenage cyclist in Northeast Philadelphia,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":307429,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[31,2327,69,71,70],"class_list":["post-307428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-crime","tag-northeast-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=307428"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307428\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/307429"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=307428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=307428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=307428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
