A devastating incident unfolded in Philadelphia over the weekend, as a 26-year-old man was apprehended for the murder of three members of his own family. The accused, identified as Andre Gordon Jr., was finally captured in New Jersey after a lengthy pursuit by law enforcement.
Details of the Tragedy
The victims of this heinous crime have been identified as the accused’s 52-year-old stepmother, Karen Gordon; his 13-year-old sister, Kera Gordon; and the mother of his children, 25-year-old Taylor Daniel. The brutal murders took place at two residences in Falls Township, eastern Pennsylvania.
In a chilling turn of events, the accused’s mother was also injured during the attack, when she was assaulted with a rifle. Three other individuals, including a 14-year-old, managed to evade the assailant by hiding as he ransacked the property in search of them.
Search for Motive
Authorities have been unable to determine a clear motive for this senseless act of violence, leaving the community in shock and disbelief. The Associated Press reported that the police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the triple homicide.
Manhunt and Capture
After committing the gruesome murders, the accused fled the scene in a stolen vehicle before carjacking another car in a store parking lot. He then sought refuge in a house in Trenton, where law enforcement officials were able to track him down and apprehend him. The entire neighbourhood was cordoned off as police surrounded the property.
