Police identified him as a suspect in the Reading case and stopped the vehicle. They said Rosado-Laboy was taken into custody without incident.<\/p>\n<p>Rosado-Laboy, 43, who has no permanent address, was arraigned Wednesday before District Judge Priscilla Campos on charges of first\u2011, second\u2011 and third\u2011degree murder; aggravated assault; burglary; and a weapons offense.<\/p>\n<p>Rosado-Laboy was committed to the Berks County Jail without bail to await further court action.<\/p>\n<p>He is accused of breaking into the apartment above a storefront in the 500 block of Lancaster Avenue on July 10 about 2 a.m. and shooting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.readingeagle.com\/2026\/07\/12\/berks-coroner-identifies-victim-of-fatal-shooting-in-reading\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his brother<\/a>, Alex B. Rosado\u2011Laboy, 45, who died at the scene, and another man, who suffered a gunshot wound to the jaw. Both victims lived in the apartment.<\/p>\n<p>According to the probable cause affidavit:<\/p>\n<p>Police arrived at the apartment for a 911 call about a shooting and encountered a man, listed in court documents as Victim #2, bleeding profusely from a gunshot wound to the jaw. Officers then found Alex Rosado\u2011Laboy dead on the kitchen floor.<\/p>\n<p>City paramedics transported Victim #2 to Reading Hospital for further treatment.<\/p>\n<p>A female resident told police that she was asleep in the rear bedroom when she was startled awake by the sound and flash of a gunshot. She saw a shadowy male figure running away.<\/p>\n<p>Victim #2 came into the bedroom holding his face. He told her that Amaury Rosado\u2011Laboy had just shot him and Alex Rosado\u2011Laboy.<\/p>\n<p>The woman jumped out of bed and saw Alex Rosado\u2011Laboy unresponsive on the floor. She called 911.<\/p>\n<p>Police secured the apartment and surrounding area as a crime scene. Investigators noticed a window screen in the middle room appeared to have been forced in and bent. They also noticed the door to the bedroom of Victim #2 appeared to have been forced open, with wood surrounding the deadbolt cracked.<\/p>\n<p>Footage from a nearby residential security camera shows a male exiting the front door of the apartment after the shooting and running west on Lancaster Avenue. He is seen wearing a backpack.<\/p>\n<p>Additional footage shows the same man walking west in the north alley behind the 600 block of Lancaster Avenue about 2:05 a.m., approximately three minutes before police were dispatched for the shooting call.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The man accused of fatally shooting his brother and wounding another man in a Reading apartment has been&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":251080,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[349,202,182,139,28,736,128,130,129,706],"class_list":["post-251079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-berks-county","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-pennsylvania","tag-reading","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news","tag-top-stories-reg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251079"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251079\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/251080"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
