In the spring of 2017 two siblings were found shot to death in their Kensington rowhouse. Raymond Finney, 48, and his sister Florence Mrs. Tina Pompey, 54, were discovered on the morning of May 28, 2017; both had been shot in the head in what appeared to be execution-style killings. There were no signs of forced entry and nothing taken from the home, so robbery was ruled out.

Their bodies were found after Tasmara McLaughlin, the mother of Raymond Finney’s children, went to the East Clearfield Street residence looking for Raymond Finney Jr., who had been reported missing on May 26 after failing to return from his sanitation job. Raymond Jr.’s backpack and cellphone were found near the Schuylkill River; a body recovered from the river on June 9 was later identified as him and authorities stated they believed his death was a suicide.

Police later identified a person of interest described in family accounts as another of Raymond Finney Sr.’s sons, Leonard. A niece, Anntwinette Dupree-Hart, wrote in March 2021 that Florence and Raymond were shot and killed by Raymond’s son. The police said early on they believed they had a motive but did not release it. Does anyone have information that could help fill gaps in the timeline or explain what led to this violence?
