District Attorney Gavin P. Holihan announced a man charged in a 2025 homicide in Catasauqua will face charges in Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas after a preliminary hearing June 23. Samuel Rolando Colon, 26, of Allentown, is charged with criminal homicide, aggravated assault and several counts of recklessly endangering another person.

All charges were held for court in a preliminary hearing before Magisterial District Judge Michael D’Amore.

Colon remains in Lehigh County Jail without bail.

The next hearing is Colon’s formal arraignment, planned for 9 a.m. July 2 in courtroom 4B before Judge James T. Anthony.

Colon is charged with the Nov. 8, 2025, killing of Ti’Shaun Singleton at a home at 250 Edward Lane in Catasauqua. Catasauqua police and EMS were called to the Edward Lane home for a report of a shooting around 4:37 p.m. on that date.

Upon arriving at the scene, first responders found Singleton dead. Singleton, 19, of Allentown, died from a gunshot wound to the chest. His death was ruled a homicide by the Lehigh County coroner.

The investigation included the review of nearby video surveillance that showed two people inside the Edward Street home dragging the victim outside and several people running from the home. One person later carried the victim back inside.

Witnesses whose names will not be released said the victim and Colon were playing a game they named “quick draw” and both were armed with guns. As the men were playing the game, Colon shot and killed the victim.

A child, as well as several other people, were also inside the home when the incident occurred.

Colon surrendered to police in April 2026.

The case is being investigated by Lehigh County Homicide Task Force Detective Amaury Almonte and Catasauqua Police Department Detective Christopher Wittik. The case is being prosecuted by Chief Deputy District Attorney Michael T. Edwards.
