by Alex Lloyd Gross

Tymere Parker, of Sanger Street in Philadelphia  was arrested this week by US Marshals, when they raided the house he was staying at, on Longshore Avenue.  It was just after 7:30 AM  February 8 2022, when authorities broke down the door to a home on the 4600 block of Longshore Street, looking for Parker.  They found him running out the back door of the property.

 Parker was wanted  for FirstDegree Murder, Conspiracy and related charges in the killing of 25yearold Edilberto Miguel Palaez Moctezuma on Thanksgiving Day in his Arch Street residence in Norristown Pa. . Two other defendants have already been arrested related to the murder: Kevon Clarke was arrested on Dec. 13, 2021,and Savian Creary was arrested on Jan. 24, 2022.

Parker was the last defendant to be arrested in this incident.  When he was running away, police said that he had a ghost gun in his possession.  It was dinnertime on Thanksgiving Day 2021, when police got a call for a shooting on Arch Street. When they arrived, they found Moctezuma  had been shot while he was eating dinner. A bullet came through the window of the home he was in and killed him.

 


A joint homicide investigation was launched by Montgomery County Detectives and Norristown Police. The investigation found that the shooting was connected to an argument  that happened at a Thanksgiving dinner party at the 100 block of Haws Avenue, where four individualsKevon Clarke, his girlfriend Jacqueline Brown and two otherswere asked to leave following a dispute. Also involved in the dispute at the party was Creary, who is Brown’s exboyfriend, and Parker.


The investigation found that Brown, Clarke and the two others returned to Clarke’s residence on Basin Street. Following their departure, alcohol was discovered missing,and Brown was texted about the theft by her cousin, who had also been at the party.Arrangements were made to return the alcohol outside of Clarke’s residence on Basin Street, turning it over to the cousin, who initially told detectives that she doubleparked her car outside the residence, saw Clarke exit the residence brandishing a gun and quickly drove off. She later admitted under oath that Creary
and Parker were also in her car and that she dropped them off prior to the shooting on Dekalb Street close to Basin Street and then picked them up after the shooting.

 


The cousin. then drove the two defendants back to Creary’s vehicle, a Dodge Charger. The investigation also found that a witness saw Creary’s Dodge Charger driving on Basin Street after the shooting.
Detectives located seven .40 caliber fired cartridge cases, six 9 mm fired cartridge
cases and one live round in the area of Basin and Arch Streets. The investigation determined through the use of two different surveillance videos and analysis of the bullet hole in the window that the shot fired into the Arch Street residence killing Pelaez Moctezuma came from Clarke’s shooting location. Two other males, believed to be Creary and Parker, are seen in the surveillance video running away from the scene.

 

Parker will face charges of first degree murder, conspiracy and weapons offenses.
