2 killed in New Year's Day triple shooting in Philadelphia: police
A triple shooting in Northeast Philly has left two men dead and another in the hospital, marking a difficult start to the new year for their families.
Authorities soon learned that the suspects fled the shooting scene in a Chrysler 300, which later arrived at Temple University Hospital with two gunshot victims.
Investigators say Quadir Tull, 21, was pronounced dead at the hospital from multiple gunshot wounds, and another 21-year-old was placed in stable condition.
The backstory:
Police believe the shooting broke out during a confrontation involving Colon's daughter and family members related to her ex-boyfriend.
During the confrontation, investigators say 44-year-old Cara Williams-Reeves and another woman began assaulting Colon's daughter and wife on the front lawn.
Cara Williams-Reeves and Tyriq Williams were charged with murder and other crimes.
Police say when Colon attempted to intervene, Quadir Tull and Tyriq Williams pushed him away and both pulled out firearms.
Colon, investigators say, had his own gun and a shootout erupted between the three men.
What's next:
Cara Williams-Reeves and Tyriq Williams were charged on Friday with murder and related crimes.
