Man charged in fatal jewelry store shooting


PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police have charged a man with murder in the death of a Philadelphia jewelry store owner killed in an exchange of gunfire along with his would-be robbers.

Authorities say 27-year-old Obina Onyiah was one of two men who entered William Glatz Jewelers on October 21 and started a shootout that left two people dead.

Sixty-seven-year-old Bill Glatz was killed in the robbery attempt along with 22-year-old assailant Kevin Turner. Authorities say Turner had escaped from the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility a little more than a week earlier.
