Two roommates who fatally shot two men who kicked in the door of their South
Philadelphia apartment building Monday afternoon remained in police custody
Tuesday as investigators examined their contention that they had acted in
self-defense.
Police continue to investigate the gunfire that erupted just after 1:30 p.m.
in the 1600 block of South 10th Street in the Passyunk Square neighborhood,
said Philadelphia Homicide Capt. Jason Smith.
The roommates, two men ages 22 and 23, were being questioned in the fatal
shootings of Dresean Jefferson, 18, and Richard Taylor, 33, said Smith.
Smith said Jefferson and Taylor were unarmed when they kicked in the common
door of the two-apartment rowhouse where the roommates lived on the ground
floor. “There was an apparent argument, but the circumstances surrounding
that argument still are not clear at this time,” he said.
Taylor was shot 10 times, and Jefferson was shot eight times, police said.
They were rushed to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, where they were
pronounced dead.
Smith said there may have been a racial aspect to the crime. Jefferson, who
was Black, had argued with the 23-year-old shooter, who is Asian, he said.
They first clashed over the phone Monday, hurling racial slurs back and
forth, Smith said, after the 23-year-old accused Jefferson of harassing a
friend of his.
Later in the day, Jefferson and Taylor showed up at the South 10th Street
apartment, kicked in the common front door, entered the first-floor hallway,
and began banging on the roommates’ apartment door, he said.
The 23-year-old called his roommate, who quickly arrived, wearing a ski mask
and latex gloves, according to video evidence, Smith said. That roommate
opened fire, Smith said, striking Taylor eight times in the hallway.
Smith said the 22-year-old told police one of the victims reached for his
waistband to retrieve a gun, but Smith said no weapons were recovered from
either of the victims.
The 22-year-old fled the scene after shooting Taylor but returned a short
time later without the mask and gloves and wearing different clothes, Smith
said.
Jefferson, meanwhile, ran to the basement to escape the gunfire and was
pursued by the 23-year-old roommate, who shot him 10 times, Smith said.
“Supposedly, he says he was threatened by the unarmed Mr. Jefferson,” the
homicide captain said.
Jane Roh, a spokesperson for the District Attorney’s Office, said the
shootings are “still a very active investigation.”

冲突之前还电话吵架？而且被叫来的人带着滑雪面具，赶到之后二话不说拔枪就射。打
死一个还去换了身衣服回来。另一个在同伴开枪之后也乱抢打死一个。 |
