Crystalin Thomas was 26 when she was fatally shot at her home on Spring Valley Road in Darby, Pennsylvania, on May 19, 2017. Police say the shooting occurred in the early morning hours and that Thomas was struck once in the chest. Her two young children, ages 6 and 3, were in the house and were found unresponsive by their grandmother who arrived shortly afterward.

Edward Moses Jr., then 31, was identified as the shooter. Neighbors provided information that investigators say helped lead to his arrest about seven hours and 20 minutes after the investigation began. Moses was charged with first-degree murder and related offenses; he later pleaded guilty as part of a negotiated plea and was sentenced for third-degree murder and an unlicensed firearms offense.

Thomas was remembered by neighbors as kind and loving, often caring for other children in the neighborhood. Does anyone have information about Crystalin, her children, or what happened that morning?
