Upon arrival, officers located a gunshot victim. The victim, identified as 52-year-old Luis Colon of the 7100 block of Oakland Street, was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the chest. He was transported by police to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:55 a.m. Flash information was broadcast over police radio, indicating the suspects fled the scene in a dark-colored Chrysler 300.

The vehicle later arrived at Temple University Hospital with two additional gunshot victims. A 21-year-old male who sustained a gunshot wound to the hand was listed in stable condition. Another victim, identified as 21-year-old Quadir Tull of the 2100 block of West Jefferson Street, suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at 11:52 a.m.

Preliminary investigation indicates the involved offenders went to the residence of Victim #1 to initiate a confrontation with his stepdaughter. The offenders are family members of the stepdaughter’s ex-boyfriend, who was not present at the scene. During the incident, a 44-year-old female, identified as Cara Williams-Reeves, and an unidentified female allegedly began assaulting Colon’s stepdaughter and wife on the front lawn.

After further investigation, Cara Williams and Tyriq Williams were arrested and charged with Murder and related offenses.
