Its tough out here when it comes to finding the perfect partner. We all need to be a lil more careful and leery of crazy folk. Here’s a story coming out of Philadelphia all about how a break up went to the extreme left. South Jersey real estate agent Terrell Bruce was maliciously shot in the head by his estranged girlfriend Martina Westcott while driving his SUV. Oh yea. Home girl was on the passenger side.
Check out this strange and heartbreaking murder.
“Terrell L. Bruce, 33, was shot in the head Tuesday afternoon as he drove along Park Line drive in the city’s West Mt. Airy section, police said.
In the passenger seat, police sources said, was his former girlfriend, 27-year-old Martina Westcott, who allegedly pulled the trigger.
Bruce lost control of his dark-colored Ford Expedition after being shot. The sport utility vehicle crashed into another car and flipped onto its side. He was found a few feet from the truck.
Witnesses told police they saw a woman running away from the crash scene. Officers carried out a search of the adjacent woods and Wissahickon Creek a short time after the shooting. They found a white jacket, stained with blood, but came up empty on a suspect.
Westcott, a Central High and University of Pennsylvania grad who recently pursued a master’s in public health at Thomas Jefferson University, apparently ran to her mother’s house in nearby Roxborough and confessed to the shooting, police sources said.
The mother called Philadelphia Police’s 14th District and helped her daughter turn herself in. She was then questioned by homicide detectives and charged with murder.
Crime scene investigators found a small caliber handgun near the crash scene on Wednesday. NBC10 was there as they took the gun into evidence. Police sources believe it was the gun used in the killing.
Bruce was a real estate agent with RE/MAX in Marlton, New Jersey. Family members described him as a “selfless, hard worker, widely known for putting the interests of others ahead of his own” in a post to a GoFundMe for his funeral arrangements.
Born and raised in the Mt. Airy section of Philadelphia, Bruce was a graduate of Roxborough High School and studied at Drexel and La Salle Universities. He continued to help out his community even after becoming a real estate agent, according to his twin brother Brandon Bruce.
“He wanted to be on the front lines of having people be able to afford their first homes,” Brandon Bruce told NBC10. “He dealt with a lot of first home buyers. That’s the people he saw needed probably the most guidance in terms of financial literacy. People who didn’t have good credit, he would coach them. He did it pro bono.”
“It wasn’t about the money. It wasn’t about the check. It wasn’t about the business per se. It was about trying to help people.”
We’re told that Terrell had already moved on with the lady in the picture below named Asia.
Here’s some useful advice for someone who may need it. If you feel like the relationship you’re in may not be the right one for you, make sure you talk to the other party directly BEFORE moving on with someone else. And another thing? If you have made up your mind and decided to break things off, please don’t do it in an enclosed proximity like a car or closet. Make sure you have somewhere to run!
Rest in peace my brother. Hopefully justice will be served for you and your family.
And now….you all are officially in the know!
What in the world? She had that much rage in her? Smh.
Obviously she had problem way before this relationship Lola.
Family & friends believe that any Martina/Terrell romantic relationship, if one existed, was well over and done. Even Martina’s Facebook posts seem to indicated as such. Additionally, why would she have brought a gun into Terrell’s vehicle unless she already knew he didn’t want to be with her? To suggest that Terrell would have “cheated” on anybody surely proves that you know nothing about him.
Top of the morning to you JDR. First of all we would like to send our condolences to you on the loss of your beloved Terrell. We never said Terrell cheated on this Martina girl. Because you’re right. We know nothing about the couple. Also, I don’t think it would have been a big story if the two never had a romantic relationship, so you’re kind of reaching on that point of view. And one more thing. The advice I shared toward the end of the article about making sure that the other person in the relationship is aware before its time to move on was meant for everyone who read this post….even you and me. It wasn’t solely directed toward your loved one. Hope you have a great day! God speed.
The comment about make sure the individual knows the relationship has come to an end before moving on was very insensitive, unless you have specific information the readers are not privy to! If not stop injecting your ill informed person tainted mask vile opinion! Now is not the time for negativity! Two young lives have been destroyed!
