3 Face Charges in Deadly Shootings in Allentown, Easton

Authorities say three men charged in the shooting deaths of a man and a woman in Allentown will also face charges in the slaying of a man gunned down on an Easton street.

Twenty-year-old Robert Jourdain of Easton, 22-year-old Todd West of Elizabeth, New Jersey, and 23-year-old Kareem Mitchell of Newark, New Jersey, are being held without bail in Sunday's shooting deaths of 32-year-old Francine Ramos and 21-year-old Trevor Gray in Allentown.

Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli said the three will also face homicide charges in the shooting death earlier Sunday of 22-year-old Kory Ketrow in Easton's West Ward.

Authorities said both shootings appeared to be random acts.

The Lehigh County public defender's office said defense attorneys who could offer comment hadn't yet been assigned to the cases.
