PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Two bullets fired nearly six years apart helped detectives solve a road rage killing in Cheltenham, Montgomery County.
Back in October 2018, the Honda Civic that 29-year-old Rithina Torn was riding in was nearly hit by a car going the wrong way on a one-way street.
Both cars kept going. When they stopped at a red light, Torn got out and approached the driver of the other car. That’s when he was shot and killed.
His death remained unsolved until detectives matched the bullet casing to another one found at a shooting scene behind a Target store in Springfield, Delaware County, in 2024.
They determined they were both fired by the same gun, owned by 38-year-old Jihad Henderson, of Philadelphia.
Henderson is already behind bars for the Target shooting. He is now charged with first-degree murder in Torn’s killing.
