Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — The city and Pearl River community are reeling after the brutal death of Anne Tso, a 27-year-old Pearl River High School graduate. Police report that Tso was fatally shot inside an apartment on February 27, 2026. Authorities have since arrested her roommate, Gabriela Flora-Duncan, 30, who now faces charges of murder.

While details remain limited, local media sources indicate that Tso may have also been stabbed, though police have not confirmed this information publicly. The circumstances surrounding the incident are under active investigation, and law enforcement officials are asking anyone with information to come forward.

Tso was well-known in her community, particularly through her family’s restaurant, Ichiban in Pearl River, where she often helped behind the counter while growing up.
