In the early hours of Sunday, January 18, 2026, multiple gunshots were fired inside a home on Locust Street in Ambridge, Pennsylvania. Police responding at about 2:30 a.m. found 38-year-old Ashley Anne Delucca and 54-year-old Andre Littles deceased from multiple gunshot wounds. Two teenagers who were relatives were in the house and were unharmed; they reported hearing arguments among Delucca, Littles, Howard James Thomas Jr., and another person for several hours while they stayed in the basement. An 11-year-old said he heard gunfire upstairs and a 15-year-old called a sibling to report shots had been fired.

Investigators identified 39-year-old Howard James Thomas Jr., who lived at the same Locust Street address, as a suspect; an argument is believed to have preceded the shootings. After allegedly firing at a neighbor’s house as that neighbor went back inside, Thomas was the subject of a BOLO and was captured after a car crash in Zanesville, Ohio, about 8:37 a.m. the same day. Police found three untraceable ghost guns in the home. Thomas faces about a dozen felony counts, including two counts of criminal homicide, aggravated assault, and prohibited possession of a firearm.

Did anyone in the Ambridge area see or hear anything the night of January 18 that could help clarify what led up to the shootings?
