A surveillance camera recorded a man who is wanted in a string of armed robberies, and police are asking for help from the public to identify and arrest the suspect.  

The man robbed a store at gunpoint on Frankford Avenue near Venango in Kensington on Nov. 2 , police said.

On Nov. 20, police said the man robbed a Dunkin Donuts on Girard Avenue near Berks Street in Fishtown. He pulled a gun on employees, demanded money from the register, and ran off with about $300, police said.

On Nov. 23, the man demanded cash and pointed a silver revolver at employees of a gas station on Susquehanna Avenue near Wildey Street in Fishtown. He left the store with $500, police said.

On Dec. 2, the man robbed a 7-Eleven on Luzerne Street near K in Juniata Park. After the clerk opened the cash register, the suspect jumped over the counter and snatched $140, police said. The man tried running from the store, but was locked inside. He broke a window and fled the scene on foot, police said.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic man in his late 20s to early 30s, who has a medium complexion and is between 5-feet-7 and 5-feet-9 inches tall. The man has a beard and mustache, and was wearing a blue, hooded coat, blue jeans, and a black and white scarf, police said.

A $20,000 reward is being offered for information leading to Anthony Baker, 26, who is wanted in connection with a shooting homicide in Germantown on Feb. 9.

Baker is about five-feet-five inches tall and weighs about 130 pounds. Police said the man’s last known address is on Algard Street near Robbins in Mayfair.

Tipsters are asked to call the Philadelphia Police Homicide Unit at 215-686-3334, or dial 9-1-1.

Police are searching for the driver who hit a 9-year-old girl on Merion Avenue near 49th in the Parkside section of West Philadelphia and fled the scene Tuesday afternoon.

Fire officials said the girl was taken to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia about 5:30 p.m. with injuries that did not appear to be life threatening.

Police in the Accident Investigation Division were on the scene after 7 p.m., and information on the type of car and a description of the driver were not immediately available.

An 81-year-old woman was hospitalized in critical condition after she was hit by a SEPTA bus on Bustleton Avenue near Devereaux in Oxford Circle Tuesday afternoon, police said.  

The woman was struck by a route 58 bus about 3:45 p.m. and was taken to Aria-Frankford Hospital, said Heather Redfern, a SEPTA spokeswoman.

Police in the Accident Investigation Division said the woman suffered severe injuries to her right leg, and Redfern said the woman’s arms were also injured.

Redfern said there were no disruptions to bus service through the area Tuesday night, and police said the accident is under investigation.  

An argument over dog feces between neighbors in Tacony led to a shooting Tuesday afternoon that left one man dead and another in police custody.

Police Chief Inspector Scott Small gave this account:

About 4 p.m., officers from the 15th District responded to a home on Torresdale Avenue, between Magee and Hellerman Street, and found a 47-year-old man lying dead on the front porch of a house.

Before shots rang out, the victim and his neighbor, a 27-year-old man, were in an argument that eventually turned physical.

The victim argued with the suspect about the suspect's unattended dogs, a Chihuahua and German shepherd, defecating on nearby lawns.

The men struggled over a gun, and the 47-year-old man was shot at least twice in his neck. He was pronounced dead on the scene.

The victim's neighbor, who was carrying a 9-milimeter handgun, was taken into custody and was being interviewed by homicide detectives Tuesday night.

The shooter may have had a permit to carry a weapon.    

“Any type of argument or fight that’s gonna lead to gunfire is a terrible thing,” Small said, “That this argument may have been over a dog, it’s horrifying.”

Daniel Potts, 23, was arrested on multiple counts of theft and receiving stolen property after a tipster saw surveillance footage of him stealing goods from an electronics store in South Philadelphia, police said.

Potts stole thousands of dollars worth of merchandise from a Verizon Wireless store and was arrested on Feb. 10, police said.

In late January, a surveillance camera recorded Potts stuffing iPhones and iPads into his sweater, then walking out of the Wireless Zone on South Street near 3rd in Queen Village.

He’s being held on $2,000 bail, and is scheduled to appear in court on March 12, according to court documents.

Police were investigating a stabbing in Kensington that left a 50-year-old man hospitalized Sunday night.

The man was outside on Birch Street near Amber at 9:05 p.m. when he was stabbed twice in the back of the left shoulder by an unknown suspect, police said. He was taken to Episcopal Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.

Police said they were looking for a thin black or Hispanic man who is 5 feet 7 with a dark complexion and wearing a black hooded sweatshirt in connection with the incident. They were unsure what motivated the stabbing.
