Overview
- Chester County prosecutors, who announced the case Tuesday, charged William Sells, 20, Makaveli Valera, 19, and Karon Rollins, 17, with second-degree murder, robbery and conspiracy, and said the men are in Delaware custody awaiting extradition.
- Investigators say the trio went to the October 2025 homecoming party to steal chains and other valuables from attendees in the crowded area outside the campus cultural center.
- Detectives report they tied the suspects to the crime using surveillance footage, Instagram posts and messages, and texts and photos obtained through search warrants.
- The shooting killed Ju’Juan Jeffers and injured six others, including one suspect, and prosecutors say Rollins is charged as an adult.
- A fourth man, Zecqueous Morgan-Thompson, arrested at the scene, now faces aggravated-assault charges after ballistic tests matched shell casings to his .380 handgun, and Lincoln University says it has tightened event safety rules as a wrongful-death suit by Jeffers’ family proceeds.
