Bethzaida Rios Reading PA Unsolved Murder
Bethzaida Rios 27, 4/2/2005
Bethzaida was shot and killed.
There are still no answers as to why,
WHO, where are they now?

Six to 10 shots were fired
through a rear window into the kitchen
of a house on North 9th Street
from close range,
killing Bethzaida and her friend Judith.


Nearly 100 people were inside
the house’s first-floor apartment,
which had little furniture,
and some reported there was an
argument among a group of women
before the shootings.

Probe of city killings
advancing, police say

Bethzaida died of a gunshot wound to the chest.
She was 27 years old.
Police don't know who or how many gunmen there were ~
But these people do not respect life!
Shooting a gun into a house packed with people
is deadly and they are not being held accountable.
This is just cowardly and they need to be turned in!


Reading police seek clues about the
fatal shootings of two city women in 2005

300 block of North Ninth Street, where city police said a tenant was operating an illegal after-hours bottle club.
Report dated 1/12/2009
Police Seek to Solve Cold Case Murders of Two Women
The people who allow this to go on are just as
cowardly as the shooters!
Life is a precious gift ~
NO ONE has the right to take a life!
In this shooting they took two lives.
