UPDATE: The son of a 72-year-old woman -- whose body was discovered on Monday -- has been charged with her murder.
Officials said the fight allegedly began after Rivera informed his brother, who lives in New York, that their mother had died, but, when the brother came to the home, Rivera would not tell his brother where their mother was.However, through the course of this investigation, officials said they now believe that Rivera killed his mother after he diluted fentanyl in his mother’s iced tea sometime Saturday night.
Once Clark was drugged, officers allege -- while is mother was in, what police claimed was a"conscious but lethargic state" Rivera put her in her own car and drove to Philadelphia where he placed her in a shed before shooting her multiple times, at sometime between 2 and 3 a.m. Sunday. Law enforcement officials said that, through a search of the home and the victim’s vehicle, officers located two firearms, as well as a receipt from a hardware store, a padlock, and an empty padlock package.Officials said, police believe Rivera used bolt cutters to cut a lock to enter a shed, then shot his mother multiple times, before he closed and locked the shed with padlocks that officials believe he purchased.This is a breaking news story.
