A woman placed a GPS tracker in the car her boyfriend was driving and gave his location to one of the men who later robbed and murdered him, according to prosecutors in Pennsylvania.

Katherine Emel, 29, turned herself in on Wednesday and the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office charged her with second-degree murder, robbery and conspiracy in the death of her boyfriend William Carter. Damon Brantley Jr., 18, Daquan Allen, 29, and Jerry Butler, 28, along with a juvenile are accused of committing the armed robbery and murder of Carter. Brantley is the alleged shooter.

Police in Norristown, a suburb of Philadelphia, responded to a shots fired call just before 8 p.m. on Jan. 20. They found Carter suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. Paramedics pronounced him dead on the scene.

Cops found three 9 mm shell casings near Carter’s body. He did not have any cash or cellphone on him, suggesting he had been robbed. According to a probable cause arrest affidavit reviewed by Law&Crime, investigators later found that his cellphone was on the move for nearly three hours after his murder. Detectives later learned he was visiting his 1-year-old daughter at her mother Tiara James’ home in Norristown just before his murder. The child’s mother told detectives she asked him to place a $20 sports bet. She said she only had $17 in cash and asked Carter for the other $3.

He said he’d have to run out to his car to get the cash. Surveillance video showed Carter go to the car, reach inside and grab something before he walked back to the home. That’s when Brantley, Butler and the juvenile ran out of a Toyota RAV4 parked behind Carter’s vehicle, according to the affidavit. Brantley reportedly slammed Carter up against the wall and reached into Carter’s pockets as the juvenile and Butler held him down, prosecutors allege. Brantley then pointed a firearm with an extended magazine at Carter and fired three shots in quick succession, which made police believe the gun had an illegal “switch” installed making it automatic, the affidavit said.

One of the shots hit Carter and he fell. The suspects then ran back to the RAV4 with Allen serving as the getaway driver, detectives say.
