On October 2, 2023, three people were found shot to death in a residence on the 6100 block of Shelbourne Street in Philadelphia’s Lawncrest neighborhood: 63-year-old Denise Snead-Doram, her husband 61-year-old Gregory Doram, and 42-year-old Nina O’Brien. A fourth victim, a 43-year-old woman identified as the Snead-Dorams’ daughter, survived a gunshot wound to the eye and was taken to a local hospital in critical but stable condition.

Police identified 41-year-old Jahad Snead, the son of Denise Snead-Doram and Gregory Doram, as the suspect. He fled in a blue Honda Pilot and was located about three hours later in East Mount Airy. During an attempted traffic stop he fired at officers; they returned fire and he was struck. He was later pronounced dead at a hospital. One officer suffered minor injuries from broken glass.

The motive has not been established and the investigation is ongoing. If anyone has information about the events at the Shelbourne Street residence or sightings of the vehicle that morning, please share what is known.
