A 19-year-old suffered multiple wounds to his chest in a Point Breeze shooting.
Detectives are hunting for whoever gunned down a 19-year-old on a Point Breeze street, leaving him critically wounded.
Shortly after 1:30 a.m. Sunday, officers responding to a report of a shooting found the teen with multiple wounds to his chest, laying in the middle of the 1400 block of Ellsworth Street. Police transported him to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in critical condition.
At press time, detectives had no motive or suspects.
To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.
Two women were taken into custody shortly after police said they got into a fight with a 20-year-old and stabbed her in Point Breeze. The incident began at 1:48 p.m. Jan. 21 on the 1600 block of South Ringgold Street.
Nicole Wylie, 25, from the above block, and Antuanette Reid, 23, from the 500 block of Moore Street, each were charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, criminal conspiracy, criminal trespass, possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person, burglary and criminal mischief.
The two are accused of knocking on the 20-year-old’s door, saying they wanted to fight her, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The victim closed the door on them only to have Wylie hurl a brick through a front window, police said. When the 20-year-old came outside, Reid is accused of taking a steak knife off her person and stabbing the victim twice in the right hand and once in the back.
The suspects ran after the alleged attack and were last seen going east on Ringgold.
The victim called police, who rounded up the suspects a short time later in the area.
The victim went to HUP via medic in stable condition.
Police don’t know why the two wanted to pick a fight with the victim.
A 25-year-old has been charged with attempted murder and related offenses in connection to a Dec. 23 shooting where he allegedly shot his girlfriend’s brother.
Dwaine Hughes, aka Aleem Hughes from the 2000 block of South Bonsall Street, surrendered to police 9:30 a.m. Jan. 7 and was charged with — in addition to attempted murder — criminal conspiracy, possession of an instrument of crime, simple assault, aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, carrying a firearm on the street and carrying without a license.
