As the investigation into the shooting death of 30-year-old Ebony Sequita Pack enters its fourth day, police have released additional details and have also renewed their calls for public assistance.
On Wednesday afternoon, Lansdale Borough Police Chief Michael Trail issued a press release stating that investigators belief the incident was not a random act; rather, they believe Pack was the intended target of the shooting.
Police were dispatched to the scene of a vehicle accident with shots fired at 9:59 p.m. on Nov. 28. Upon arrival, police located a Nissan sedan — driven by Pack — which was stopped on a curb at the intersection. Police said the vehicle sustained numerous bullet strikes to the driver’s side door.
Pack sustained multiple gunshot wounds during the incident, including two gunshot wounds to the chest and one to the leg, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation. Pack was transported from the scene via ambulance to Abington-Lansdale Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
At the scene of the shooting on Saturday night, multiple neighbors reported hearing upwards of 4-to-6 gunshots in rapid succession, and a source with knowledge of the investigation said a second vehicle that may have been involved in the incident had fled the scene after the shooting.
The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office reportedly conducted an autopsy on Monday, but the results have not yet been publicly released.
Earlier this week, Trail urged residents to be patient as the investigation proceeds.
“Homicide investigations are, by their nature, very thorough and clandestine, and a lack of details for public release should not be construed as a lack of progress in the investigation,” said Trail.
The investigation is being conducted by members of the Lansdale Borough Police Department and the Montgomery County Detective Bureau.
“We continue to seek the public’s help, and anyone with information regarding this homicide is asked to contact the Lansdale Borough Police Department at 215-368-1801 or the Montgomery County Detectives at 610-278-3368,” said Trail.
