Stray bullet kills Pennsylvania man at Thanksgiving dinner

[RandySF]

NORRISTOWN, Pennsylvania -- A man eating Thanksgiving dinner inside a home in the Philadelphia suburbs was killed by a stray bullet that pierced a window, authorities said.

The victim, Edilberto Miguel Palaez Moctezuma, 25, was shot in the torso just before 9:30 p.m., Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele said in a press release issued Friday. He was flown to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

No one in the home was involved in the argument outside that apparently sparked the shooting, prosecutors said. The suspected gunman remains at large.

Suspect Kevon Clarke, 19, of Norristown, fired several shots in the area during a dispute with relatives over liquor that had gone missing from a gathering earlier in the day, officials said. He is named in a warrant charging him with first-degree murder, reckless endangerment and weapons offenses.

7. This guy is 19?

He looks at least 30. Maybe 35.

He even looks to be graying a bit at the temples.

12. A life of poverty or near poverty and violence ages people fast.

It is super stress 24/7. Stress shows on people's faces.

13. But violence is a choice

That's what he chose and he ended a man's life and destroyed a family.

Hopefully he will be put somewhere he can never cause this type of harm again.

14. You know this clown?

You seem to know a lot about him.

3. It's very important to have a gun in the house for protection.

At least that's what I'm told . . .

9. In the house for protection, yes.

Not out in the yard in the middle of a drunken dispute over who spilled the beer.

10. IMO the vast majority of people that have a gun for "protection"

are safer without the gun.

You are correct of course about introducing a gun into a drunken dispute.

11. Sorry, should have put the sarcasm thing in that reply . . .

4. But....

Heaven Forbid we do anything about real gun control so loser punks can roam around with AR 15s.

It’s sick and Damn that 2nd Amendment.....we need to either do away with it or seriously restructure it so mental defects can’t so easily kill at will.

6. The War Is Over

We've reached the point, where it is what it is.

If anything, we're in a battle to make sure the gun laws don't become even More Lenient.

But future generations will live with this problem, any chance of changing that, is long gone, and really never existed.

8. Lovely. Nothing new here. nt

15. FIRST degree murder?

First-degree murder is the most serious of all homicide offenses. It involves any intentional murder that is willful and premeditated with malice aforethought. Premeditation requires that the defendant planned the murder before it was committed or was “lying in wait” for the victim.

Does that seem accurate?
