A 20-year-old man shot and killed two teenage sisters in Klamath Falls, prosecutors allege.

Elijah Albert Qinkade Croy allegedly told police he had assembled a Glock-style handgun from parts he had ordered individually online, then tried to kill Tashka Qualls in a Klamath Falls house June 29, after the man discovered Croy in his daughter’s bedroom, according to court records. The gun failed to fire when Croy shot at Tashka Qualls, but it did fire when he then shot at the man’s daughters — Aleeka Qualls, 19, and Zion Qualls, 14 — killing both.

Croy was arrested “within a few feet of two homicide victims,” a Klamath Falls Police Department officer wrote in a probable-cause statement filed in court.

Prosecutors have not provided additional details.

The two Qualls daughters are Klamath tribal descendants, Klamath Tribes said in a statement last week.

“I want to see supreme justice for these two indigenous sisters,” Klamath Tribes Treasurer Brandi Hatcher said in a statement.

Croy has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, one attempted-murder charge and three charges of unlawful use of a weapon.
