A day after investigators spent hours searching for clues in a double shooting that left two men dead at a Montgomery County apartment building, authorities revealed new details in the deadly home invasion fueled by an overlapping love triangle.
Assistant District Attorney, and District Attorney-elect, Kevin Steele announced Friday the arrest of Obrian Stephen Lewis in the killings of two 26-year-old men late Wednesday night inside the Park Place Apartments on Sandy Street in Norristown.
"The defendant confronted the victims and fired at least 20 shots," said Steele.
Investigators found that "the defendant stood over and fired down onto the victims and those bullets went through the bodies and into the floor below," said Steele.
Police found the body of Marcel Edwards of Philadelphia in a second-floor hallway. Quentin Watson Jr. of Eagleville was found dead in an adjacent apartment, said Steele. Both men were shot multiple times.
"Detectives also found that shots were fired through a door and into the apartment," said Steele.
Steele said Lewis went to the apartment to confront the woman who lives there and one of the victims since it appeared the woman was carrying on relationships with both Edwards and Lewis.
After the killings, Lewis dragged the woman from a closet where she was hiding and dragged her across the room, said Steele. The woman got away, however, and ran down the street where she got someone to call police.
A 4-year-old boy -- who investigators believe is Lewis' son -- in the apartment at the time wasn't hurt, said investigators.
A Norristown officer found the defendant still at the scene and was able to get the still "hot" gun away from Lewis, said Steele.
There appeared to be some previous domestic incidents between Lewis and the woman, said Steele.
