Wanda A. Deshong, 74, was found dead in her Collegeville, Pennsylvania home on September 24, 2023, the victim of a single gunshot wound to the head. Her 53-year-old son, Adam Deshong, was also found inside the house with multiple gunshot wounds. Their younger son, 49-year-old Aaron Deshong, called an FBI Threat Assessment Center that day and indicated he may have harmed family members; troopers later found him still on the phone and detained him at the Gravel Pike residence.

A .38 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver registered to Aaron was recovered in a basement bedroom closet with four spent shell casings and two live rounds. Aaron was charged with first-degree murder, third-degree murder, and possessing an instrument of a crime. Prosecutors said the shootings followed years of pent-up aggression after a falling out between the brothers; they presented gunshot residue on Aaron’s hands and a key that opened the closet where the weapon was found. Wanda Deshong was a retired registered nurse who enjoyed painting and collecting antiques.

Did anyone in the area know the Deshong family or have information about tensions in the household leading up to September 24, 2023?
