After an extensive investigation, Pennsylvania State Police have arrested in a case of a deadly shooting and subsequent crash that claimed the lives of two men on an I-95 North ramp in Delaware County. Marquice Pierce, a 32-year-old resident of Chester, is facing charges of murder and other offenses stemming from the violent encounter that occurred back on September 13, as detailed by 6ABC.

Pierce's arrest yesterday culminated in what authorities describe as a heinous event. On that fateful day, Clinton Martin, a 29-year-old from Lansdowne, was behind the wheel of a Mazda 5 when he suffered a gunshot wound to the neck and subsequently crashed into Joshua Waltz, 33, of Odessa, Delaware. Waltz was standing near his disabled Chevrolet Malibu on the shoulder of the ramp when Martin's Mazda, veering uncontrollably, struck him, as reported by NBC Philadelphia. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.

In what unfolded as a grim collision of fates, Pierce has been charged with a slew of serious offenses, including one count of first-degree murder and two counts of third-degree murder. Additional charges comprise driving while operating privilege is suspended or revoked, receiving stolen property, and several weapons offenses. These details emerged in the report by FOX 29.
