Norristown police received a ShotSpotter alert of multiple gunshots fired in the area of the 600 block of Corson Street, and according to the release, Harrison was found dead in the backyard of his home, which was a few houses down from the shooting.
The DA said video surveillance showed three teens walking on Corson Street, shooting at Harrison then leaving the scene.
The other two of the three alleged shooters, Kaleem Roland, 16, and Naseem Worrell, 17, were arrested last week on the same charges.
The Montgomery County Detective Bureau and the Norristown Police's homicide investigation found that the murder of Harrison was targeted due to the ongoing feud between two groups that have been identifed as gangs, the Grimy Boys/6's, which Harrison belonged to, and the rival gang All Black Bandits/300s, which Worrell, Roland and Morgan-Cook belonged to, the DA said.
Authorities described Morgan-Cook as 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 140 pounds. He is considered armed and dangerous.
The DA said if anyone sees Morgan-Cook, not to approach and call 911.
Anyone with information about Morgan-Cook's whereabouts is urged to call Montgomery County Detectives at 610-278-3386 or Norristown Police at 610-270-0977.
