A judge ruled on Wednesday that Andre Gordon Jr., the 26-year-old man charged in 3 fatal shootings in PA as well as weapons and carjacking counts in NJ, will stay behind bars as his case proceeds.
TRENTON, N.J. — A man charged in the fatal shooting of three family members in Pennsylvania and related carjacking and weapons counts in New Jersey will remain behind bars while his case proceeds, a judge ruled Wednesday. Andre Gordon Jr., 26, appeared via video from the Mercer County jail for his initial court appearance on the New Jersey charges. Gordon did not enter a plea, and he waived his right to contest pretrial detention.
Superior Court Judge Robert W. Bingham II ruled that Gordon will remain in custody until his trial, and scheduled an extradition hearing for April 3. Gordon's public defender, Nicole Carlo, said he will consent to extradition to Pennsylvania to face charges in Bucks County. A message was left with Carlo's office seeking comment on Gordon's behalf.
The mayhem forced the cancellation of a St. Patrick’s Day parade in Pennsylvania's Bucks County and the closure of a Sesame Street-themed amusement park and a number of other businesses. Authorities issued a shelter-in-place order for several hours. Officials have not released a possible motive for the attacks.
