Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman and Norristown Police Chief Russell Bono have issued a release announcing a joint investigation into the shooting death of 21-year-old Ryan Ladson-Singleton early Saturday morning, Oct. 20.

According to authorities, at 2:04 a.m. Saturday morning, officers from the Norristown Police Department responded to 608 Green Street for a reported shooting. Police arrived on scene and found the victim, Ladson-Singleton, lying on the sidewalk. The victim had sustained gunshot wounds to his body.

Ladson-Singleton was transported by helicopter to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy is scheduled for Sunday Oct. 21, at the Philadelphia medical examiner’s office.
