The victims of a Memorial Day weekend double murder in Valley Township were identifed Tuesday as the mother of the suspect’s son and a five-month pregnant friend.
Marmadou Kallie, 23, of Coatesville is accused of fatally shooting Tiara Rodriguez-Diaz, 20, the mother of his 22-month-old son, and her friend, Kimberly Ortiz-Zayas, 20, who was five months pregnant.
The boy was uninjured and is staying in Coatesville with relatives of the suspect, according to Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryan.
Investigators said that believe Kallie removed his son from his mother’s car before he fatally shot the two women in the car.
Kallie is accused of killing two women, an unborn child, and carjacking before threatening to kill himself in two hours and 20 minutes in four Chester County municipalities.
“Valley Twp experienced a horrific double murder on a holiday weekend when family and friends were supposed to enjoy summer’s unofficial start," Valley Township Police Chief Glenn Eckman said "Instead, two young women and an unborn child are dead. It was a brutal scene for law enforcement to process."
Kallie is in Chester County Prison without bail on charges of first-degree murder, murder of an unborn child, carjacking, endangering the welfare of a child and related charges.
