Suspect Who Livestreamed Police Chase Indicted in 3 Murders: BCPO

A murder suspect who livestreamed himself on Facebook Live during a police chase has been indicted in connection with three murders, Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina announced.

Terrance J. Matthews, 23 of Willingboro, has been indicted in the murders of his ex-girlfriend's grandmother and brother inside of their Eastbrook Lane home.

He was also indicted in the murder of a man who was sitting inside a parked vehicle earlier this year on Millbrook Drive. This man was fatally shot in a separate incident earlier in the year.
Matthews lived at a home with his ex-girlfriend's grandmother and brother, who were found stabbed to death in their house in Willingboro at 2 p.m. on June 20, according to authorities.

Matthews then posted himself on Facebook Live (video below) as sirens blared behind him, saying, "Cops on me."

An investigation by Westampton Township police revealed that Matthews and his ex-girlfriend, Krissida Williams, 22, had entered a Wawa on Springdale Road and Williams told a Wawa employee that Matthews had killed her family, according to authorities.

Matthews fled the store, and Willingboro Township police officers were sent to the house in the 100 block of Eastbrook Lane to conduct a wellness check.

Inside the home, police discovered the bodies of Jennifer Vassell, 68, and her grandson, Ishon Mathiln Jr., 9. Both were stabbed multiple times, and Ishon appears to have been drowned in a bathtub, according to authorities.

The investigation further revealed that the murders occurred while Williams was at work on Wednesday evening. When she arrived at the residence after work, Matthews was at the home and held Williams against her will through the night, according to authorities.

The motive for the killings appears to stem from an argument Williams and Matthews had during a telephone call earlier in the day on Wednesday, according to authorities.

He has been indicted on two counts of first-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping, second-degree eluding, four counts of third-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, third-degree aggravated assault, third-degree criminal restraint, third-degree terroristic threats, third-degree resisting arrest and three counts of fourth-degree unlawful possession of a weapon.

Matthews was also indicted in the fatal shooting of 21-year-old Davell Williamson, of Willingboro, while Williamson and another man sat in a car just before 1 a.m. on Feb. 18, authorities said.

Matthews approached the car and began shooting, authorities said. Williamson was later pronounced dead at Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County in Willingboro. His passenger was shot in the arm, and treated and released from Cooper University Hospital in Camden.

In this incident, he was indicted on one count of first-degree murder, first-degree conspiracy to commit murder, first-degree attempted murder, first-degree conspiracy to commit attempted murder, first-degree unlawful possession of a weapon, second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and second-degree certain persons not to possess firearms.

Matthews is being detained in the Burlington County Jail in Mount Holly.
