Andre Gordon Jr. pleaded guilty today in Bucks County court to three counts of first-degree murder and was sentenced to three consecutive life terms without parole. In addition, he received an extra 156 ½ to 313 years in prison for a series of violent crimes committed on March 16, 2024, in Falls Township.
The victims were Gordon’s 13-year-old sister, a young girl full of promise; his 52-year-old stepmother, Karen Gordon, an Army veteran who lost her life while protecting her daughter; and 25-year-old Taylor Daniel, the devoted mother of Gordon’s two children.
Gordon’s guilty plea also covered numerous other crimes that shocked the Falls Township community, including attempted homicide, burglary, aggravated assault, motor vehicle robbery, unlawful restraint, discharging a firearm into an occupied building, theft, possession of criminal instruments, terroristic threats, simple assault, and reckless endangerment.
Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn noted that the plea came after extensive discussions with the victims’ families. During sentencing, Judge Raymond F. McHugh viewed a compelling video compilation with 911 calls, body camera footage, surveillance videos, and a moving interview with one of Taylor Daniel’s daughters from the Bucks County Child Advocacy Center.
