Authorities made the case that the three men were traveling through Bristol Borough when they saw a car that belonged to the girlfriend of a rival parked near Colter’s residence. Once they spotted the car, the trio fired down the street toward where Colter was.
The men fled the shooting scene and ended up in Philadelphia.
