Man Accused of 2 Killings in Willingboro Charged in February Slaying

Prosecutors say a New Jersey man already accused of having killed his ex-girlfriend's grandmother and brother — and who live-streamed his own police chase — has now been charged in a slaying in February.

The Burlington County prosecutor said Sunday that 23-year-old Terrance Matthews is accused of firing at two men in a car early on Feb. 18 in Willingboro. Twenty-one-year-old Davell Williamson was killed and the other man was wounded.

On Friday, prosecutors announced that Matthews had been charged with killing 68-year-old Jennifer Vassell and her grandson, 9-year-old Ishon Mathiln Jr. Authorities said both were stabbed multiple times, and the boy appeared to have been drowned in a bathtub.

Authorities say Matthews live-streamed the high-speed police chase on Facebook before crashing Thursday. It's unclear whether he has an attorney.
