Latoya Donaldson, 39, was charged Monday with murder and conspiracy in the Aug. 23 shooting of Abdul Vicks, police said. Vicks, 25, was killed while sitting in a car at a stop light on the 5500 block of North Fairhill Street in Olney. Surveillance video shows a car pull up alongside Vicks’ vehicle before several shots are fired into the driver’s side. Vicks was struck in the chest and hand. He died a short time later at Jefferson Einstein Philadelphia Hospital.
Donaldson allegedly gave her son, 16-year-old Aiden Waters, a rifle that was used in the shooting, police said Tuesday.

Waters was charged two weeks after Vicks was fatally shot. Investigators traced the abandoned car used in the shooting to Waters’ home, where they gathered fingerprint and ballistics evidence linking him to the crime, prosecutors said. Waters also was charged for his alleged role in another shooting on Aug. 16 that resulted in the death of a 16-year-old and injuries to another teen.
In October, authorities charged 18-year-old Rashawn Williams for his alleged role in Vicks shooting. Then in November, charges were filed against Naier Briscoe, 19, for his alleged involvement.
There has been no statement released from Donaldson’s lawyer.
