Funeral Held for Mom Killed in Deadly Carjacking Crash

Funeral services for Keisha Williams, the latest victim of a deadly carjacking that also took the lives of her three children will be held Thursday in North Philadelphia.

Williams, 34, died a week ago, two weeks after she, her children and a family friend were struck by a carjacked vehicle while selling fruit on a street corner in the city's Tioga section.

The victim was in a coma at Temple University Hospital since the July 25 accident.

Friends and family can pay their respects at a private viewing from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. with a funeral to follow at the North Philadelphia Seventh-Day Adventist Church at 16th and Oxford streets.

Williams' children, 15-year-old Keiearra Williams, 10-year-old Joseph Thomas Reed and 7-year-old brother Terrence Moore, were laid to rest early last week in services paid for by 76ers great Charles Barkley.

The fifth victim in the accident, 65-year-old Thelma Brown, survived.

Jonathan Rosa, 19, and Cornelius Crawford, 23, are facing second-degree murder charges as well as other charges related to the carjacking of a real estate agent.
