Two young boys were playing with kittens in their backyard when shots rang out at a home in eastern Pa., killing both children and a young man who was the apparent target, authorities said. A man and a teen are now charged in the deadly attack.
Nineteen-year-old Joshua Lugo-Perez apparently was the intended target of Tuesday night's shooting, which authorities said stemmed from “a previous argument.” Eight-year-old Jesus Perez-Salome and 9-year-old Sebastian Perez-Salome were also killed.
Authorities said Thursday that they have charged 22-year-old Alex Torres Santos and a 16-year-old male with three counts criminal homicide and other charges. Authorities have said Santos was on house arrest for several unrelated charges and was wearing an ankle monitor. A third male is still being sought and will likely face similar charges.
