The statement said that the three-person shooting in the village northeast of Philadelphia occurred in a gray Hyundai Elantra that the Marysville Police Department discovered to have been stolen from Bristol Township, Pennsylvania. Even after stopping the Hyundai with stop sticks, the driver would not stop, according to Marysville police who attempted to pull over the vehicle. Eventually, the driver—later identified as Hughes—came to a stop next to Bear Swamp Road.

Hughes and the other occupants of the car exited and fled, according to the police. One of the suspects, who was in the front passenger seat, was apprehended by the police without incident. They also think that a lady was inside the car but managed to escape before they could reach her. According to their accounts, officers discovered Hughes dead about thirty yards from the site from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
