3 Ran From Home Where Women Were Shot: Report

Two Philadelphia women shot to death in the middle of the afternoon

Two women were found dead with multiple gunshot wounds in a home in the Frankford section of Philadelphia Monday afternoon.

Neighbors told police that they saw two women and a man run out of a Frankford row house right after the shots that killed  two cousins were fired, reports the Daily News.

Police were called to a home on the 5400 block of Rutland Street at 3:40 p.m. after receiving calls about a person with a gun and a possible shooting, say Philadelphia police.

At the home, police found two women shot. They were both pronounced dead at the scene.

Family members identified the victims as cousins Marcedes Ivery, 21, and Tiffany Barnhill, 19.

Both women lived in the house where they were found dead, police say.

"They were good girls, they were loved by their family," said Fanita Mitchell, Marcedes' aunt.  

Regina Howard, Ivery's aunt, told the Daily News that her sister, Kim Ivery, got home moments after the girls were murdered. Howard said that she can't imagine why anyone would kill the women.

There are no arrests and no suspects in the case yet.
