Daquan Tucker, 25, was found dead in a wooded area along the Schuylkill River Trail at the border of West Norriton Township and Norristown, Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele said in a statement. An autopsy determined that Tucker had died of multiple gunshot wounds and authorities are investigating his death as a homicide.
