Man captured in Trenton after killing 3 family members in Bucks County, mayor says
Andre Gordon is accused of killing his stepmother, Karen Gordon, his teen sister Kera Gordon, and Taylor Daniel, the mother of his two children, in Bucks County, before being captured hours later in Trenton, NJ
A man accused of killing his stepmother, teen sister and mother of his two children in Bucks County has been captured by police after barricading himself inside a home in Trenton, New Jersey, officials say.
The mayor of Trenton, New Jersey, announced that Andre Gordon, 26, was captured alive and unharmed by Trenton police around 5 p.m. Saturday.
Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn provided a detailed timeline of the ordeal during a Saturday afternoon press conference.
On the morning of Saturday, March 16, Andre Gordon, 26, carjacked a victim and stole a vehicle in Trenton, New Jersey, investigators said.
Gordon then drove to a home on Viewpoint Lane in Levittown, Pennsylvania, around 8:50 a.m. and broke inside the house, according to officials.
Gordon then allegedly shot and killed his 52-year-old stepmother, Karen Gordon, as well as his 13-year-old sister, Kera Gordon, inside the home. Three other family members, including another 13-year-old, were also inside the home at the time, officials said. Gordon searched for the other three family members but left after he couldn't find them, according to investigators.
Shortly after, around 9 a.m., Gordon broke into another home about two miles away on Edgewood Lane in Levittown, investigators said. Once inside, he killed the mother of his two children, 25-year-old Taylor Daniel, according to officials. Their two children were also inside the home as well as Daniel's mother and a fourth family member.
Police said Gordon bludgeoned Daniel's mother with his weapon. She is currently recovering at the hospital.
Officials believe Gordon was armed with an AR-15 style weapon during the two incidents.
Police said Gordon then carjacked another person at gunpoint in the parking lot of the Dollar General store on the 1200 block of Bristol Pike in Morrisville, Pennsylvania. The driver was not injured.
Investigators said they later recovered the stolen vehicle, a 2016 dark gray Honda CRV.
