At approximately 5:45 p.m. on Thursday, New York state troopers attempted to stop a 2009 Honda Civic, the vehicle known to be driven by Venable. She refused to comply with the traffic stop, leading to a pursuit that reached speeds of up to 100 mph.

The investigation began after a welfare check was conducted at a residence on White Street, where the three victims were found deceased with signs of upper body trauma.
Legal Charges
Venable is facing three counts of second-degree murder and one count of using a firearm while committing a felony. She was identified as a suspect shortly after the discovery of the victims, leading to the issuance of an arrest warrant.
