A life taken
A 29-year-old woman has been charged with second-degree murder, robbery and conspiracy after the death of her boyfriend who recently won $3,000 at gambling.
Katherine Immel was arrested Wednesday and is being held without bail. The body of William Carter, a father of two and a friend of the suspect, was discovered in January in Norristown, Pennsylvania.
Emil allegedly informed one of the men involved in the murder about Carter’s gambling winnings.
Emel received $700 from Allen after the murder
The suspects are identified as Damon Brantley Jr., 18, Daquan Allen, 29, and Jerry Butler, 28. The name of the fourth suspect, a juvenile, was not mentioned. Brantley is accused of being the one who pulled the trigger. Police determined that Emil received $700 from Allen after the murder.
The four suspects are expected to attend a preliminary court hearing on February 16.
What happened?
According to surveillance footage, when Carter went to retrieve some money from his car, he was ambushed by three suspects. A fourth person remained inside the car.
The three men stole Carter’s money before one of the suspects, believed to be Brantley, shot him in the head.
She had been in contact with Alan “several times.”
On the night of Carter’s death, Emil was accused of informing the suspects of his location. She had also been in contact with Allen “several times” before the murder and told Allen that Carter had won $3,000 in a gambling game.
To make it easier to track Carter, Emil placed a tracking device in the trunk of her car, which Carter was driving.
According to his family, Carter was visiting his one-year-old daughter at the time of his death.
