A January 15, 2025 5:00 a.m. call to Pennsylvania State Police from a family member set off a search that ended with the discovery of 49-year-old Maisha Coon dead in a Sleep Inn room on Street Road in Bensalem. Cellphone data helped narrow her location to a cluster of hotels; troopers found Coon on the floor with apparent gunshot wounds. Investigators later determined three shots were fired inside the room: one struck a pillow, one passed through the floor into the room below, and one was fatal.

The relative had reported that 51-year-old Orenthia Upshur confessed to shooting Coon and that the couple had been arguing; officers say a phone dispute was overheard around midnight. Upshur fled to Trenton, New Jersey, where a separate shots-fired call led to a standoff. He was taken into custody after the Mercer County Tactical Response Team was called and a gun believed to be the weapon in Coon’s death was recovered. Extradited to Bucks County, Upshur was charged with criminal homicide, unlawful restraint, kidnapping, and weapons violations and, during a four-hour interview, admitted to killing Coon.

Does anyone have information about Maisha Coon’s movements that night or who might have witnessed the dispute before midnight?
