Philadelphia Police Investigating Triple Execution-Style Murders

A home in the Lawncrest neighborhood of Philadelphia was the scene of a grisly murder, with three male victims, all in their 20s, discovered to have been killed execution style. Two of the victims found inside the home at 6300 Martin Mills Road had been tied up and killed by a gunshot wound to the head. The third victim was discovered in an upstairs bedroom, also dispatched with a gunshot wound to the head. The contents of the home had been ransacked.

Investigators believe that the assailants used a semi-automatic weapon to carry out the killings. An unidentified woman who began hysterically screaming while standing in the home’s driveway brought the attention of police officers, who discovered the carnage inside the house. Police are asking that any witnesses to the slayings or anyone with further information come forward. This recent triple homicide occurred not far from another home, also in Lawncrest, in which a mother and son were found murdered execution style in late January. Police have not released the identities of the three murdered men until family members have been notified. It is not known if they were related and if any of the deceased were the home’s owners.
