WILKES-BARRE — Police have released the name of the second suspect that is sought in the fatal North Sherman Street shooting of 23-year-old Irvando Crooks last month and have a warrant for his arrest for homicide.
The Wilkes-Barre City Police Department identified the man as Keanu Pinnock, 19, also known as “Preky” or Digi.”
A second suspect, Tevon Thomas, appeared for a preliminary hearing on homicide charges Thursday.
Crooks arrived at an area near 65 N. Sherman St. on Sept. 2, left his vehicle and returned having been shot in his legs and torso, according to police. He was transported to the Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center trauma unit and died at the hospital.
Luzerne County Coroner William Lisman listed the cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds, and the death was ruled a homicide.
A post on the department’s Facebook page indicates that a warrant for Pinnock has been entered into the National Crime Information Center, and leads have been sent to the U.S. Marshals Service and the New York Police Department.
Pinnock is described as a black man that is 6 feet, 2 inches tall and weights 165 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.
