A father has been charged with voluntary manslaughter after shooting a man he found hiding in his daughter’s bedroom in the head.
Charles Jordan, 41, killed Marc Carrion, 32, in September believing that Mr Carrion had broken into his daughter’s room at their apartment in Philadelphia.
In fact his daughter, Brenda Jordan, 20, had been dating Mr Carrion for a month, and told police she invited him up to her room.
When Jordan walked into his daughter’s room, he saw there was something wrong with the window, before noticing Mr Carrion crouching in a corner.
In a recording of a 911 call made at the time, Jordan can be heard telling Mr Carrion not to move before a single shot is fired.
Jordan claims that he opened fire after Mr Carrion lunged at him. Mr Carrion was taken to hospital, but later died of his injuries.
Neighbours reported hearing a woman shouting ‘no, daddy, no’ at the time of the shooting.
