The members of the murdered family were cousins with The Promoter TV director of photography’s Scott Alexander Johnson. Scott studied journalism at West Chester University. Scott said, “For all the faithful out there, a horrific tragedy has struck my family today. I won’t name names as the media has not yet done so. But prayers are needed and appreciated at this time.”

NBC News reports, “One of the victims is Nicole Hill, Stone’s ex-wife. She was shot inside her apartment in the Harleysville section of Lower Salford Township, just feet from her kids, sometime between 4 and 5 a.m., police sources and neighbors told NBC10.

“I heard the kids say, ‘Mommy no. I want my mom.’ And I heard [the suspect] say ‘Let’s go. We have to go now. We’re leaving,’” the woman’s neighbor at the Pheasant Run Apartments along 150 Main Street in Lower Salford Township said after being jolted awake by gunshots between 4 and 5 a.m.”

Charges Filed in Pottstown Murder and Related Robberies

Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman and Pottstown Borough Police Chief F. Richard Drumheller announce the arrest of three defendants, Derrick Jackson, Andre Jackson and Jourdan Harper for December 1st robberies in Pottstown and West Pottsgrove and the arrest of defendant Derrick Jackson for the murder of Lori Marie Sheridan. The victim was a 47 year old woman that resided on King Street in Pottstown. Ms. Sheridan was killed by a close range shotgun blast to abdomen while she was lying in her bed in her apartment.

Shortly after the victim was found on Monday, December 1, 2014, members of the Pottstown Police Department and the Montgomery County Detective Bureau commenced an investigation into the murder of Lori Marie Sheridan. Through extensive witness interviews and multi-agency cooperation, detectives were able to identify Derrick M. Jackson as the person responsible for Lori Sheridan’s murder.

During the investigation detectives found and seized a black pistol grip style pump shotgun that was used in the murder as well as shotgun shells that contained “birdshot” from the rear yard of Derrick Jackson. The autopsy conducted by the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office determined that Lori Marie Sheridan was killed with “birdshot.”

Additionally, Derrick Jackson was linked to this weapon as far back as a month before the killing when he texted a picture that police recovered of the same shotgun.
