POTTER COUNTY – Police have arrested and charged three people with homicide in connection to the death of 18-year-old Samuel E. Miller, of Eldred.
Miller, who police say died from several gunshot wounds, was found dead in the Prouty Run Creek two days ago.
Arrested and charged in connection to the shooting death of Miller was; Jonothan Edward Prather, age 19, of 1 Niles Hill Road, Coudersport, PA; Avery Earl Buckingham, age 25, of 26 Stiner Street, Austin, PA; and an unidentified 15-year-old juvenile.
Authorities say an extensive investigation by State Police and Potter County District Attorney Andy Watson determined the above three to be responsible for Miller’s murder.
All three were taken into custody by police without incident.
Officials say charges are in the process of being completed. Both Prather and Buckingham will be arraigned in District Judge Annette Easton’s courtroom this morning, at which point they will be charged with criminal homicide and related offenses.
The unidentified teenager has been committed to a juvenile facility pending further court proceedings.
