Homicide probe still under way in killing of 2 home invaders - Philadelphia Inquirer

November 25, 2011|Staff Report

Homicide detectives are still sorting through the details of the shooting deaths of two intruders during an apparent home invasion robbery in Frankford Wednesday night.

The pair, plus two others who were wounded, were shot by a resident of the house, the scene of another robbery two weeks ago by at least two of the same intruders on Nov. 6, police said.

Police said this morning that homicide investigators have not yet confirmed the identities of the two dead men. The names of the wounded men also have not been released.

No one has been charged yet.

Police said the four men broke into the house on 5200 block of Burton Street before 10 p.m. Wednesday and one of a resident opened fire with a shotgun.

Medics pronounced two of the men dead at then scene and the other two turned up later at separate hospitals.

One of them, 20, suffered shotgun wounds to a hand, a leg, and the buttocks and was reported in stable condition at Albert Einstein Medical Center. The other, 22, was shot in the abdomen and reported in critical condition at Frankford Hospital.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said.

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
