PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Three children have been found safe after an all-night search that began with a homicide investigation in Philadelphia and apparently ended with a man being found dead in Montgomery County.
It all began after a 39-year-old woman was shot around 7:30 p.m. Sunday in the 1900 block of Haines Street.
Officers found the victim suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in the living room of the home. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Meanwhile, police say three kids – all 2 years old – went missing from the area around the same time of the homicide.
The children, a girl and two boys, were believed to be with 37-year-old Stanley Baptiste, who was last seen on Haines Street just after 8 p.m.
That SUV was found in Lansdale, Pa. overnight but the children were not inside.
We know the coroner was called out and we know a man’s body was taken out of the vehicle, as well as a handgun.
The identity of the man found dead has not been released.
Overnight, troopers took down the missing poster for Baptiste.
It’s not yet known where the children were found.
