PhillyLand: Two Men Killed In Opposite Ends Of The City Within 24 Hours

By Aubrey Whelan, July 15, 2015 Inquirer

A 25-year-old man was killed by a gunman who chased him down a Point Breeze street Monday morning, Philadelphia police said. It was the first of two homicides in less than 24 hours at opposite ends of the city.

In Monday's incident, police responded to a report of gunshots on the 1700 block of Tasker Street at 11:48 a.m. and found the victim shot in the left leg, arm, and chest. Medics took him to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead about six hours later. His name was not released.

Police said they believe the gunman opened fire as he neared the victim, who lived about two blocks from where he was killed. The gunman then got into a car and drove off, police said.

Nine People Shot At Mantua Barbecue 

By Mark Fazlollah, Jun. 21, 2015, Philly.com 

Nine people were shot, including a baby and two children, during a barbecue Saturday night in Philadelphia's Mantua section, police said.

The shotgun blasts left the three juveniles and three of the six male adult victims in stable condition at West Philadelphia hospitals late Saturday night, police said. Two other male victims arrived at Hahnemann University Hospital with minor wounds and were to be released, authorities. The condition of a last victim could not be immediately learned.

The shooting took place about 9:50 p.m. near 41st and Ogden Streets in the 16th District, authorities said.

Detectives said it appeared that the barbecue - involving as many as 50 people - had been fired upon by one shooter, who fired two buckshot blasts from a shotgun. He fired from the street, they said, but may have arrived or left in a car. "There were a lot of people out there," Lt. John Walker, of Southwest Detectives, said Saturday night, saying the toll could have been even higher.

A pair of shootings less than two blocks apart in Bella Vista left three teens injured early Sunday.

Officers first responded about 1:20 a.m. to the 800 block of South Street, where they found a 16-year-old shot in his left thigh and a 17-year-old shot in his left leg, police said.

Both were taken to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and placed in stable condition.

The victims told investigators they were walking west on South Street when they saw a group of men get into an argument at the intersection of 9th Street, police said. One of the men pulled out a handgun during the dispute and fired several shots, according to the victims' account.

That man is described as a 5-foot-7 black male between the ages of 18 and 21.

Officers were again called to the area shortly before 2:45 a.m. for a report of gunshots on the 900 block of Bainbridge Street.

There, they found a 19-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to his left leg. He was also placed in stable condition at Jefferson.

Student Beatdown On Subway Platform Caught On Video

Source:  Daily Mail
By Regina Medina, Apr. 23, 2015, Philly.com

SEPTA POLICE are investigating a vicious attack on two Benjamin Franklin High School students caught on video Tuesday on a subway platform in the Spring Garden station, officials said yesterday.

Nobody involved in the beating - including the victims - reported the brutal crime to SEPTA police, Philadelphia police or school district officials, SEPTA Police Chief Thomas Nestel III said.

In the video, time-stamped just after 3:15 p.m., about a dozen teens - all believed to be students, according to officials - appear to be participating in the attack or egging it on. At one point, one of the assailants, wearing a light gray sweatshirt with the hood covering his head, fell onto the tracks. He quickly pulled himself back onto the platform and joined the fray once again. A girl is seen trying to videotape the pummeling of a male victim, and one assailant also stomped on the victim's head.

The attack lasted 1 minute, 5 seconds, SEPTA officials said.

"It's an outrageous event. This is so dangerous, it's not even funny," Nestel told reporters at a news conference. "We have operating trains down there. There are passengers waiting for the train . . . It's horrendous."
