Man accused in Piazza at Schmidt's murder arrested in Texas
A man wanted for allegedly shooting another man to death outside a trendy bar at Northern Liberties’ Piazza at Schmidt’s complex earlier this month was arrested Tuesday in Texas, authorities said.
Steven Miller, 22, was pulled over in Houston by U.S. Marshals and officials from the Harris County Sheriff’s Office and arrested without incident, according to U.S. Marshals Eastern District of Pennsylvania Supervisory Deputy James Burke.
Police say Miller, who court records show has prior arrests for illegal firearms possession, shot Maurice Kimble, 24, of Upper Darby, several times after an argument broke out between the two men on the patio at PYT bar. Kimble collapsed in the courtyard at the Piazza and was rushed to the hospital, where he later died of his injuries.
After Kimble’s slaying, U.S. Marshals in Pennsylvania developed information that indicated Miller had fled to Texas. On Tuesday, the accused killer was being held at a Harris County jail awaiting extradition back to Philadelphia.

inevitable he'd shoot someone, huh?
And he's probably shot others.— mmds
...typical...
Comment removed.- Why do most shooters turn out to be black youths? I would like someone from our communities tell me why so many kill? There are programs reaching out to them, yet they continue to fail. A lot of people in all the communities are puzzled. Why? Why? Why?— denjamr

Huh, why did this guy run? If I were him, I'd be bragging to everyone how I got "street cred", and tat a tear under my eye.- He looks like such a good boy. Are you sure he's the one?— Wilhelm Von Humboldt
- How do you think to yourself: a) "I am going out for dinner and drinks tonight, I better bring my illegal gun". b) "I am mad at that person, I am going to put a bullet in him and end his life" AND NOT THINK "I will go to jail for the rest of my life if I do this".— johnnycola
- Oh here we go again!!! Welcome back idiots!! It is so typical that you racist morons are here making comments on the articles where an African American commits a crime. Why don't you go make some comments about those animals who rape children like the priest and Sandusky the "tickle monster". As usual, there are no comments about those nasty creeps but there are plenty about any article where an African American. You people are so pathetic!! I see why priest are so against abortion, they want more children from messed up homes so they can have more dates. LOSERS!!— jeffrn
- I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
Another thug off the street. Unfortunately, he's probably got a couple kids by different mommas that we're paying for. Eventually, they'll grow up without a father and the cycle will continue...— ToadOfToadHall - some people -- like "jeffrn" -- just don't get it. or refuse to acknowledge the disease plaguing this community. open your eyes, buddy. total failure. total.— The Usual Suspects
- Total failure is right. The failure started the moment we enslaved other human beings and forced them to do our bidding. I'd be pretty pissed too, if somebody did that to me, my family, my friends. Hated me for the color of my skin. Open YOUR eyes. We started this, and we refuse to stop it. Just read your ugly words. You don't get it. — ahumanbeing
- @ ahumanbeing: While I do believe that people, even in the worst of circumstances, do have ageny, I want to thank you for being honest enough to come in here and remind racists like The Usual Suspects (who's just upset because this is one of the few outlets where he vomit his drivel) that the conditions in the ghetto didn't happen in a vacuum, and they didn't come to being without the aid and encouragement of white racism. Now that you've hurt their feelings (and told the truth), I wouldn't be surprised if one of them comes in here and calls you a n-lover. — wb2nd
Every other race comes to this country and works hard to make a better life.This race seems to be going backward.Kill,murder,Rape and rob seems to be the only thing they do.The young don`t want to get educated or learn a trade,they just want everything for nothing.I`d blame the parents...if you could find them.— bwheeler- You need a hug! And a history book. We made this problem with shackles and hate, we perpetuate it with rhetoric like yours. You are sad, this country is sad. — ahumanbeing
