>Teen Accused Of Killing Three To Be Charged As Adult

A 16-year-old boy, James Fernandez-Reyes, accused of a triple homicide in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, will be tried as an adult, according to a decision made on Monday. Fernandez-Reyes is one of three suspects in custody for the shooting deaths of a 19-year-old and two children. The victims were gunned down at a home on North Fifth Street on May 30, 2023. The victims included 8-year-old Jesus Perez, 9-year-old Sebastian Perez, and 19-year-old Josh Lugo Perez, who police believe was the target of the shooting. A neighbor was also wounded by gunfire.

Torres-Santos and Fernandez-Reyes were arrested the day after the shooting, while Claudio-Rosero was apprehended in Philadelphia a week later.

The Lebanon County District Attorney has stated that she will be seeking the death penalty in Torres-Santos' case. The suspects are currently being held without bail at the Lebanon County Correctional Facility.
