In the quiet community of Lincoln University, Pennsylvania, a grim discovery shattered the peace in early November 2021. Jordan Foster, a 22-year-old male, and his mother, 53-year-old Kimberly Harris, were found deceased in their home on Ashmun Avenue. The tragic event unfolded when Jordan's twin brother and his girlfriend returned to the residence to find both his mother and brother unresponsive, having suffered apparent gunshot wounds.
Emergency services were immediately dispatched to
the home, but their efforts to save Jordan and Kimberly were in vain, and both were pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators from the Pennsylvania State Police found multiple shell casings at the location, indicating a violent struggle had taken place. It was determined that both victims had been involved in a physical altercation with the perpetrator before being fatally shot.
The investigation quickly led authorities to 41-year-old Timothy Harris, who was identified as the suspect in the double homicide. The timeline of events revealed that after the killings, Timothy Harris fled the scene. His escape was cut short when he was involved in a hit-and-run accident and then a subsequent single-car crash on Route 1. Eyewitnesses to the second crash reported seeing Harris retrieve a handgun from his vehicle and take his own life. A. 380 semi-automatic handgun was recovered from the scene of his death.
The Chester County District Attorney's Office and the Pennsylvania State Police conducted a joint investigation into the horrific events. They concluded that Timothy Harris was responsible for the deaths of Kimberly Harris and Jordan Foster before ultimately dying by suicide. The motive for this tragic murder-suicide has not been publicly detailed, leaving a community to mourn the senseless loss of two of its members.
