READING, Pa. (WPVI) — Police have identified three of the four victims who were killed in a shooting on Sunday in Reading, Pa.<\/p>\n

Those victims are identified as 20-year-old Jarlyn Lantigua-Tejada; 23-year-old Juan Rodriguez; and 20-year-old Joshua Santos.<\/p>\n

The fourth victim has not been positively identified, police say, though investigators believe he is also in his early 20’s.<\/p>\n

The shooting happened inside a row home on South 3rd Street around 7 p.m. Sunday.<\/p>\n

Three of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene. The fourth victim died at the hospital.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez’s mother, Heidi Franceschi, spoke with Action News on camera, saying she has no idea why anyone would want to hurt her son.<\/p>\n

“He was a survivor, he just had a liver transplant 11 months ago. He was in college for criminal justice, but stopped college because he had liver problems. Now, this happened,” she said.<\/p>\n

Police say there have been no arrests and no suspects have been identified. However, they do not believe this was a random shooting and say there is no reason to believe the public is in any danger.<\/p>\n

Officials say this is the worst shooting they have dealt with in a long time.<\/p>\n

“We can not remember any time in recent history when this many people were shot at one time,” said Deputy Chief Jim Marasco.<\/p>\n

His family said Rodriguez left behind a one-year-old son.<\/p>\n

“He was a good kid, hard working,” said Franceschi. “He was an amazing son, amazing father.”<\/p>\n
