According to the affidavit attached to the search warrant:

Police were called to 913 Winder Drive at 12:38 a.m. on Tuesday, July 8 after 24-year-old Lamel Duffy, who suffer a  gunshot wound, ran to 911 Winder Drive saying he was shot. Three officers were first to arrive and found Duffy shirtless and without pants in a pool of his own blood. The 24-year-old was alert and told officer that he was shot at 913 Winder Drive by men wearing masks.

Officers checked out a Chevrolet Impala in the driveway of 913 Winder Drive. The vehicle’s driver-side door was open and there was a large amount of blood on and around the exterior of the vehicle. Police followed a trail of blood and spotted Tyrone Moss, 31, and Joshua Johnson, 29, shot inside the house.

Moss was found dead on the living room floor of the house with his hands bound with zip ties behind his back, and wheelchair-bound Johnson was found on the dinning room floor bleeding from a gunshot wound to the head.

Officers noted a “strong odor of burnt marijuana in the home.” When the officers arrived, a heavy amount of marijuana smoke was found in the house where the shooting happened.

Two shell casings were found near Moss and another was found on the floor near Johnson.

Johnson, who was the only one of the victims living at 913 Winder Drive, was reported by a woman to have recently installed a security camera at the house. Detectives found a camera mount and broken wires near the front of the house, but no camera.

Lt. Terry Hughes told LevittownNow.com on Thursday evening police were still investigating the shooting and they did not have any suspects in the crime. He did say detectives have multiple persons of interest and have spoken with several of them.

“We don’t believe this shooting was random,” the lieutenant said.

Despite marijuana being found in the Winder Drive home, Hughes said he could not say whether investigators believed the home invasion and shooting was linked to drugs.

Neighbors, friends and family of the victims have told LevittownNow.com they suspect drugs were connected to the shooting.

Police said last week that they were familiar with the address of the shooting and had been called to the address in the past. However, they did not elaborate on the specifics of those police contacts.
