Andre Gordon Jr., 27, pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree murder for killing his stepmother, 52-year-old Karen Gordon; his 13-year-old half-sister, Kera Gordon; and his ex-girlfriend, 25-year-old Taylor Daniel, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in March 2024.
Gordon began the rampage by carjacking a vehicle in Trenton, New Jersey, and drove to his family's home in Levittown, Pennsylvania, where he fatally shot Karen and Kera Gordon. Three other people, including another 13-year-old, hid in the home during the attack. He then traveled to a nearby residence and killed Taylor Daniel, the mother of his two children, in front of their daughters, ages three and five. Daniel's mother was bludgeoned with an AR-15 style weapon but survived.
Following the shootings, Gordon carjacked another vehicle in Morrisville, Pennsylvania, and returned to Trenton. There, he was involved in a hostage standoff before being arrested. During the manhunt, Gordon cut his hair to evade police. The rampage led to a shelter-in-place order and the cancellation of local St. Patrick's Day parades in Bucks County.
On May 28, 2025, Gordon was sentenced to three consecutive life terms in prison without the possibility of parole, along with an additional 156 1/2 to 313 years for related charges, including carjacking and aggravated assault. He pleaded guilty to over 30 charges. Prosecutors had considered seeking the death penalty but opted for life sentences after consulting with the victims' families.
A Pennsylvania man accused of killing his sister, stepmother, and the mother of his children will spend the rest of his life behind bars, sentenced to three consecutive life term without parole.
