In the early hours of Sunday, January 18, 2026, multiple gunshots at a Locust Street home in Ambridge, Pennsylvania, left 54-year-old Andre Littles of Pittsburgh dead. Officers found Littles and 38-year-old Ashley Anne Delucca of Ambridge inside the residence, both deceased from multiple gunshot wounds. Two teenagers who were also in the house were unharmed and were taken to a family member’s home.

Ambridge police quickly classified the incident as a double homicide and identified 39-year-old Howard James Thomas Jr., who lived at the same Locust Street address, as a suspect. An alert was issued for him and his vehicle. The Ohio State Highway Patrol notified Ambridge police that Thomas had been apprehended after a crash in Zanesville, Ohio, around 8:37 a.m.; he was treated at a hospital and then taken into custody. An arrest warrant charged him with two counts of homicide and listed numerous other felony offenses, including aggravated assault, prohibited possession of a firearm, carrying a firearm without a license, and discharging a firearm into an occupied structure.

What did neighbors or anyone who knew Littles, Delucca, or Thomas notice about that Locust Street household in the days leading up to January 18?
