The shooting fatally injured Tyrone Moss, 24, of Fleetwing, and severely injured Lamell Duffy, 24, of Levittown and Joshua Johnson, 29, a resident of the Winder Drive home. Despite incorrect reports by other networks, Johnson has not passed away and remains on life support at Aria’s Torresdale campus.
Family and friends of the victims were seen crying on the ground and clenching their loved ones tight as the news was officially delivered by Godzieba. Many friends and family members were confused and distraught, caught in a ‘limbo’ mode between incorrect rumors and unofficial reports as to the nature of their loved ones condition.
One older woman who rested in a lawn chair at the beginning of the street has been a local resident for the last 50 years and is extremely upset at the nature of the crime, calling it surprising. “This is just getting ridiculous, I’ve never seen anything like this happen, at least not on this side of town,” she said.

A resident who lives close to the action reported to LevittownNow.com that the deadly gunfire didn’t catch him off guard at all. “Oh I know who did it,” he said. “Theres no real drug enforcement here, and for a while the police havent taken the drug dealers in the area seriously. The drug dealers have stepped up their game, hopefully the police will soon step up theirs.”
The resident who has lived in the area for about two years said it will take a real undercover operation to catch the 20-30 drug dealers who operate the streets in the area. “They really need to install cameras in the area,” he said. “Especially between the hours of 4 and midnight on Fridays and Sundays thats when a ton of drug drop offs and pick ups happen.”
