On July 13, 2026, three men were found shot to death at a residence in Great Bend Township near Hallstead, Pennsylvania. Victims identified include 53-year-old Philip Johnson, 38-year-old Kevin Igo, and 29-year-old Frank Talarico Jr. Two of the men, including Philip Johnson, were found on the back porch and the third was on the lawn. The community was stunned by the triple homicide.

Pennsylvania State Police investigators arrested 29-year-old Garrett Johnson, a nephew of Philip Johnson, not far from the scene. Police report an AR-15-style rifle was recovered and Garrett Johnson was charged with three counts of criminal homicide, simple assault, and resisting arrest; he was arraigned and held without bail. Authorities say Garrett made a statement to officers during his apprehension and behaved erratically earlier that day.

The motive has not been released and many questions remain about what led to the killings. Does anyone have information about the victims’ last movements or about activity around that residence on July 13?
