On December 29, 2023, two people were killed in a shooting at a home on the 100 block of Chestnut Street in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Ada Ortiz, 44, and her 1-year-old grandson, Sebastian Serrano, were found in the living room with multiple gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene. A 66-year-old man, identified as Leandro Ortiz, was in the kitchen with a gunshot wound to his upper left chest after shielding a 7-year-old child; he was taken to a local hospital and was expected to recover.

Authorities say the suspect, 43-year-old Gabriel Cartagena, allegedly forced entry into the residence, opened fire, then fled. Cartagena surrendered to law enforcement on January 4, 2024, and faces multiple charges including two counts of criminal homicide, attempted homicide, aggravated assault, burglary, and related offenses. The motive has not been disclosed, and no known relationship between Cartagena and the victims has been reported.
