2 Die in Shooting at Montgomery County Apartments, Suspect in Custody

The bodies of 26-year-old Marcel Edwards, and Quentin Watson were found in a nearby apartment building in Montgomery County.

A double shooting left two men dead at a Montgomery County apartment building overnight.

Norristown Police responded to the Park Place Apartments on Sandy Street around 11:20 p.m. Wednesday to find the bodies of the 26-year-old men. Each victim was shot multiple times.

Police found the body of Marcel Edwards of Philadelphia in a second-floor hallway. Quentin Watson Jr. of Eagleville was found dead inside an adjacent apartment, said the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office.

Investigators didn’t immediately reveal details about the shooting outside of saying that a set of keys found at the scene also linked to a car that they also investigated early Thursday.

Before sunrise Thursday, crews removed the bodies from the building.

Later, Assistant District Attorney Kevin Steele said that authorities had a person in custody.

Investigators didn't immediately reveal a motive for the shooting.
