Bucks County man gets two life sentences in fatal prom-night shooting
A jury convicted Joseph Williams, 19, of killing two teens.
A Bristol Township man was sentenced Friday to two consecutive life sentences for the murder of two teens last spring.
Joseph Williams, 19, was convicted of killing Zyisean McDuffy and Tommy Ballard in April. Williams shot the two during an argument in front of a mutual friend’s home in the township’s Winder Village section on May 4, 2018.
The shooting, which came as some teens were heading to the local high school’s prom, was an escalation of simmering tensions between two rival groups of teens in the neighborhood. Williams was also convicted of attempting to murder a third person and tampering with evidence.
