A 24-year-old Pennsylvania man is facing charges after allegedly killing a friend during a so-called “quick draw” game. Authorities claim Samuel Rolando Colon shot and killed 19-year-old Ti’Shaun Singleton in the incident.
Colon was arrested on Monday and is now charged with criminal homicide, aggravated assault, and six counts of reckless endangerment in connection with the fatal shooting of Singleton in November 2025, according to officials.
The Lehigh County District Attorney’s Office reported that police and emergency medical teams responded to a shooting call at a residence on the 200 block of Edward Lane in Catasauqua on November 8, at approximately 4:37 p.m.
Upon arrival, first responders discovered Singleton with a gunshot wound to his chest. Despite their efforts, paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. The Lehigh County Coroner later confirmed that Singleton’s death was a homicide.
Investigators revealed that surveillance footage from nearby locations captured the chaotic aftermath of the shooting, showing individuals allegedly moving Singleton’s body.
Investigators said surveillance video from nearby properties captured chaotic moments immediately after the shooting that allegedly showed people moving Singleton’s body.
“The investigation included the review of nearby video surveillance that showed two people inside the Edward Lane home dragging the victim outside and several people running from the home,” the release states. “One person later carried the victim back inside.”
Bystanders allegedly told authorities that Colon shot Singleton during a “game” involving firearms.
“Witnesses whose names will not be released said the victim and Colon were playing a game they named ‘quick draw’ and both were armed with guns,” prosecutors wrote in the release. “As the men were playing the game, Colon shot and killed the victim.”
Authorities did not provide any additional details about the nature of the “quick draw” game.
A child and several other individuals were inside or near the home at the time of the shooting, officials said.
Colon is currently being held in the Lehigh County Jail without bond.
The case is being investigated by the Lehigh County Homicide Task Force and Catasauqua police, with prosecutors proceeding through the Lehigh County District Attorney’s Office. Colon is scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing, where a judge will determine whether the charges will proceed to trial.
