Carjackers run over, kill 3 kids in Philadelphia
By Ralph Ellis, CNN
updated 7:47 AM EDT, Sat July 26, 2014

(CNN) -- Three children helping their mother operate a fruit stand were killed Friday when a stolen SUV plowed into a small crowd on a street corner.

Two brothers, 7 and 10, and their sister, 15, died in the wreck in north Philadelphia, police told CNN affiliate KYW....


These dudes are toast when they're caught. They'll never see grass again.
 
They haven't been identified yet. Hopefully by tomorrow.

Philadelphia Police have two persons of interest in custody -- a 19-year-old male and a man in his 20s.

The Police Department's forensics team lifted finger prints from the stolen SUV and located a bloody t-shirt around the corner from the crash

That's great news! So glad they caught those !
 
Yep. I hope they go down for triple murder charges. :mad:

I don't think they planned to be nice to that real estate agent. They can at least add kidnapping and depending on what they said, maybe attempted murder. Although, that charge may be hard to add. JMO

From the first article;

...The younger man, identified by his attorney as Jonathan Rosa, turned himself into detectives alongside his mother and their pastor....

He shows up with his pastor. Makes me sick. This guys soul is beyond repair. JMO

The second article has this gem;

...A post on Rosa's Facebook page from 8:15 a.m. on Friday said "Good and evil two sides fighting for dominance." Later that evening, at 9:42 p.m., Rosa's mother Amanda wrote on his page: "Please pray for Jonathan my son."

Josue Rosa, the man's uncle, tells NBC10.com his nephew is a good kid, without a criminal record, who had just taken a test to join the U.S. Marines. He believes the 19-year-old was pressured by the other suspect to take part in the carjacking....


I'm guessing this isn't the first time the kid was in trouble and, supposedly he wasn't driving, the Real Estate Agent was being sexually assaulted in the back. So that pretty much leaves him as doing that. (Assuming I read that correctly.) So explain to me Mr. Uncle how that makes him a "Good kid." :stormingmad:

Oh, and Jonathan's mom. I'm reserving my prayer time for the Real Estate agent and the mother of the three dead kids who hasn't found that out yet. The time to start praying for your son was the first time he got into trouble and you probably glossed it over. JMO

This is so very sad. That poor mom. All her kids gone in the flash of an eye. She doesn't even know yet.

Heartbreaking

Just so y'all know, Jonathan Rosa is having a hard time. His lawyer wants us to know this:

"He turned himself in, and he is doing everything in his power to try and atone for what happened last Friday," Warren said. "Quite frankly, he's having an extremely difficult time getting over the image of that 15-year-old girl coming over the hood of the car."

And Jonathan Rosa's uncle wants us to know this:

his nephew is a good kid, without a criminal record, who had just taken a test to join the U.S. Marines. He believes the 19-year-old was pressured by the other suspect to take part in the carjacking. "I don’t want my nephew to do life in prison. If he was involved, alright. Don’t give my nephew life in prison. He’s not a bad kid. He's not the one who was driving,"

Meanwhile, the REAL victims, 10-year-old Thomas Reed, 15-year-old Keiearra Williams and 7-year-old Terrence Moore, are laying in a morgue. And what about their mother?
34-year-old Keisha Williams, suffered severe injuries and remains hospitalized -- unaware her children have died.

Records show Crawford had been released on parole in April, 2013 after serving the minimum of a 5-13 year sentence for robbery. The parole board, citing in its decision, the convict’s “determination for success

the first major break in the case came when a neighbor, who raced to the accident scene to help the victims, found a phone and turned it over to police. Detectives then traced the phone to one of the suspects
They face life in prison, if convicted
 
Also injured was the 45-year-old real estate agent who was carjacked, then forced to perform oral sex on both men after they forced their way into her car.

According to a police report, the two took $3,000 from the woman, who suffered broken ribs, cuts, and bruises in the subsequent crash. She was also taken to Temple, where she remained Monday in stable condition.

Police said Crawford and Rosa walked up to the real estate agent after she wrapped up a meeting with a client on North Sixth Street, about a mile from the crash site. They implied they were carrying a weapon, police said, then forced her into the car and drove north at high speeds

Rosa and Crawford had known each other for only a week, and he did not say how they met. Rosa has never been arrested before. Crawford has a long criminal history, with 10 prior arrests for robbery, theft, and forgery.

Thank you for posting this. What an awesome man!

I had previously read about this in an article but with all the horrible details coming out about this case, I didn't give it the attention it deserves.
 
Rosa was going to join the services. Never been in trouble before. How dumb can you be? If he was such a great kid, why didn't he walk away?
He was in it right up to his neck. Not happy with taking the car nd the money, they had to kidnap the poor woman and put her through such a degrading experience. They are both as guilty as each other. JMO
