Police are asking the public's help in finding a Belmont man wanted in the murder two weeks ago of an Overbrook man.

Quameer Smith, 21, should be considered armed and dangerous, police warn. Smith, of Poplar Street near 41st, is wanted for the June 9 murder of Kaleem Jones, 22, of Woodcrest Street near 57th. Officers found Jones, shot in the face, in his home just after 1:30 p.m. that day. Police rushed him to Penn-Presbyterian Hospital, where doctors declared him dead at 1:45 p.m. Police say an argument sparked the deadly gunfire.

Smith is described as 6-foot-5, 200 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair. Anyone with information on his whereabouts can call homicide detectives at (215) 686-3334 or -3335, or 9-1-1. A $20,000 reward is available for information leading to his arrest and conviction.

Court records show Smith has several prior arrests for drug offenses.
