Two Suspects Arrested in Connection with Northeast Philly Shooting That Left Two Dead and One Injured.
Police have arrested two individuals, Cara Williams-Reeves, 44, and Tyriq Williams, 21, in connection to a violent shooting that took the lives of Luis Colon, 51, and Quadir Tull, 21, on New Year's Day. The suspects are being charged with multiple counts of murder and related offenses.
According to investigators, the shooting occurred at around 11:14 a.m. outside Colon's home in Northeast Philadelphia. The suspects had arrived to confront Colon's stepdaughter, who has ties to Williams-Reeves' family through her ex-boyfriend. That boyfriend was not present at the scene of the crime.
The confrontation escalated when Williams-Reeves and another woman allegedly assaulted Colon's wife and stepdaughter on the front lawn. Colon attempted to intervene, but he was pushed away by Tull and Tyriq Williams, who then drew their firearms and engaged in a shootout with Colon. The ensuing gunfight also struck a parked car and entered the living room of a nearby home.
Eyewitnesses described chaotic scenes as multiple shots rang out, prompting someone to call 911 for help. Amy Smith, a neighbor who lives near the scene, reported hearing gunfire followed by screams for assistance. She stated that she saw Colon lying on the ground with his wife and stepdaughter standing over him. "We heard what initially sounded like fireworks and then realized it was gunshots and we heard a bunch of screaming to get help, somebody call 911," Smith said.
Colon suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and was pronounced dead at Jefferson Torresdale Hospital around 11:55 a.m. Tull also died shortly after arrival at Temple University Hospital due to multiple gunshot wounds sustained during the shooting.
The suspects fled the scene in a dark-colored Chrysler 300. Police have not released information on any potential motives behind the violent attack or further charges against those involved.

What's going on in our world? We need to find a way to resolve our differences peacefully 
. I mean, Colon's stepdaughter gets ties to Cara Williams-Reeves' family? That's just too convenient. And what about the ex-boyfriend who wasn't even there? Was that just an added 'detail' to distract us from the real motive? 
. Plus, there's no mention of any surveillance footage that shows what really happened before the shooting. It's all very suspicious.
I'm telling you, this whole thing feels like a carefully planned operation 
.
and now there are two more suspects to deal with... it's getting outta hand 
i hope the police get to the bottom of this and bring some justice to the families involved 
.
i know we gotta be careful about sharing info online but it seems like there was some kinda escalation going on here. anyway, glad they caught these two suspects though - hopefully they get the justice they deserve 
i mean whats going on with these ppl? Cara Williams-Reeves and Tyriq Williams, they're like a deadly combo 
i feel so bad for Colon's wife and stepdaughter, they must be shattered 
i dont know what the motive was but this is just senseless violence 
lets hope the other suspect gets a good long sentence 
what can we do to prevent these kinds of incidents from happening in the first place i mean we know there are some sociopaths out there but it's like we're living in a world where you never feel safe anymore 
tyriq williams is only 21 too and they both could've had so much more time to live and experience life
... poor Colon & Tull, what did you do to deserve that? 
... this world is getting more and more crazy by the minute 
. these suspects were really reckless, putting an entire neighborhood at risk with their actions. and what's even crazier is they left the scene in a car like it was no big deal 
.
i feel bad for colon's family, especially his wife and stepdaughter who must've been going through hell right now 
. anyway, hope justice is served soon
