Commonwealth’s Attorney Paul Ebert said Monday that Jean C. Smith, 39, and her son James Smith, 19, were killed during an attempted burglary at their home on Langford Court on Friday afternoon.

The 17-year-old, who lives in the neighborhood, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder. The teen’s girlfriend, 22-year-old Jacqueline Munoz, has been charged with obstruction of justice for allegedly providing him an alibi, police said.

Ebert said he is seeking to have the murder charges upgraded to capital murder. But he is unable to seek the death penalty due to a Supreme Court ruling banning capital punishment for juveniles.

Police provided a chilling account of what happened in the Smith home on Friday afternoon.
