Hill is charged in connection to the Dec. 31 shooting on Lori Loop Road that killed Liza Dukes, a mother of three, and Jay Wooten. Wooten’s son, Shayne, was wounded in the gunfire but he survived.
Co-defendant Victoria Scifo told investigators she and Hill were staying with Dukes and the Wootens when there was a confrontation over supposedly stolen clothing, according to court documents. She said a scuffle ensued, and both Wootens and Dukes were shot during the struggle.
Scifo and Hill were taken into custody after they crashed a neighbor’s vehicle during a police chase on State Road 11 in nearby Bradford County. Scifo is charged with fleeing police and as an accessory to murder in the case.
