Arlando Pickett, arrested in triple murder
Police arrested a Mayfair man Tuesday in last October's shooting deaths of three people in North Philadelphia.
Arlando Pickett, 25, of Algard Street near Knorr, was charged with murder, gun offenses and related crimes in the Oct. 11 slayings of Duane Talley, 36, of Seltzer Street near 12th, Craig Lassiter, 38, of 8th Street near Indiana, and Mashanda English, 33. Police responded to 8th Street near Indiana about 7:45 p.m. that night after receiving reports of gunshots. Talley and Lassiter died that day; English died two days later. A fourth victim survived.
Police spokeswoman Officer Tanya Little said the motive remains listed as "unknown." Homicide investigators were in court and couldn't be reached for comment.
Court records show Pickett is a repeat violent offender who beat an attempted murder charge in 2009. The murder victims had prior arrests for drug offenses and other crimes.

- The murders didn't happen in Mayfair, so what's your point? — blueyes68
- Mayfair has changed a lot BobbyD. It once was a classy place. (at least a decent place)— Kennedy
- Still is classy....these murders didn't happen IN MAYFAIR...?! I've been living in Mayfair for 33 years. The only thing that's changed is we have a lot less ignorant racists and a lot more diversity with a smackering of less than desirables which basically describes the make-up of our Country. — blueyes68

- I grew up in Mayfair - nothing like this went on.— lulu
- What didn't go on when you were growing up in Mayfair? Murders? Criminals?...First of all - the murders in this article DID NOT happen IN MAYFAIR...And second, if you think there were no criminals living in Mayfair when you were growing up, you are a fool...Criminals ARE EVERYWHERE...I have been living in Mayfair for 33 years..The only difference now is that our neighborhood looks more like America than West Virginia. — blueyes68
Comment removed.- You're an idiot...What does a murder in North Philly have to do with townwatch? This guy may have been living in Mayfair, so what? Do you think Murderers and criminals only live in certain neighborhoods??? They are EVERYWHERE you fool ! — blueyes68
- Blueyes....What do you think his rent in Mayfair cost the rest of us non diverse residents? — Paddyboy68
- Hasn't cost me a dime ! Youre just spatting off for the sake of spatting off nonsense. — blueyes68
- The white renters on my corner that like to fight each other and beep their horns in the middle of the night have cost me a LOT of sleep though..Imagine that, white people causing problems, oh my. — blueyes68

- What demographic is that? The white renters that moved up from Kensington? Because that's the only bad thing thats happened on my block in the last 20 years...The lovely asian couple that moved in has added a lot of flowers and plants outfront and the two black families living on my street have added a sense a security since both husbands are cops and the spanish couple across the street haven't presented a problem..It's just them damn white irish renters that moved in on my corner that cause chaos..Maybe if a diverse family moved in there it wouldnt be so damn loud at night. — blueyes68

- areyoukiddin- Man, get off the Mayfair knock down already!!! Come back when you've something intellegent to comment about!!!— Dadair1
- Don't waste your breath, you are trying to comment in the great wide open Ku Klux Klan rally, regularly held by the Inky in honor of dying as a newspaper. It is one of the last gathering places for right wing republican recruiting of people not quite sure the American Nazi Party is the way to go. Considering the republicans of today, that 3rd party option has been totally coopted.
- And where's the story about the home invaison on the 6300 block of Algard the othe day?— TomM

- I see they used his college graduation picture, what a handsome thing.— waltv
- What difference does it make. He won't get the death penalty. He'll be in jail for "life" and the taxpayers will be footing his bill.
I'm really beginning to not care— kidretdes - The same holds true for West Philly. When I grew up back in the 50's and 60's, it was a great area to live. Now, it has turned into the ghetto!!— eeemery
- Judging by the murder locations, Mayfair was just the location of this scumbags crash pad.— Lancer248
- One more thing, that's Tacony not Mayfair. And I highly doubt the thug is a longtime resident.— TomM
- More importantly, 8th & Indiana, which is the location of the crime, is neither Tacony nor Mayfair. — blueyes68
- Wow Mayfair sure has changed ! People wonder why there is white flight...this is a prime example. Who wants to live around this kind of crime?— KarenD
- What white flight is that KarenD? Did you leave Mayfair? Perhaps you should re-read the article - the crime in this article happened at 8th & Indiana....No where near Mayfair. — blueyes68
