The incident happened around 11:15 a.m. Thursday on the 7100 block of Oakland Street.
When police arrived, they found 52-year-old Luis Colon suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the chest.
He was rushed to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:55 a.m.
Police say Williams-Reeves and Williams went to Colon’s house to initiate a confrontation with his stepdaughter.
The suspects are reportedly family members of the stepdaughter’s ex-boyfriend, who was not there at the time.
Investigators say Williams-Reeves and another unidentified female began assaulting Colon’s stepdaughter and wife on the front lawn.
When Colon tried to intervene, Williams and 21-year-old Quadir Tull pushed him away and pulled out guns.
Colon then pulled out his own gun, according to police, and a shootout began between the three men.
Police say the suspects then fled in a dark-colored Chrysler 300, which later arrived at Temple University Hospital carrying two additional gunshot victims.
Williams was treated for a gunshot wound to the hand and is in stable condition. Tull suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at 11:52 a.m.
The incident remains under investigation.
