Two men broke into a 29-year-old woman’s North Philadelphia home, raped her and stole a DVD player and jewelry Tuesday morning, police said.

Cops released composite sketches of the suspects Friday and are asking for the public’s help to identify and arrest the men.

One of the suspects is described as a light-skinned Hispanic man in his early to mid-20s who is about 5’6 and weighs about 185 pounds. He was wearing a dark blue hoodie and denim shorts, police said.

The other suspect is described as a black man in his mid-20s to early-30s who is about 5’9, weighs about 200 pounds and has a light mustache. Police said he was wearing a red hoodie, blue denim shorts and sneakers.

Tipsters are asked to call the Philadelphia Police Special Victims Unit at 215-685-3251 or reach the department online.

Radeem Corley, 17, was arrested Thursday after allegedly spraying a block of Myrtlewood Street in Strawberry Mansion with bullets, wounding two 13-year-old girls during a neighborhood gathering, police said.

A prom celebration on Myrtlewood Street near Cumberland ended in gunfire Thursday night, which left two 13-year-old girls hospitalized after being caught in the crossfire.

Neighbors, and many children, were crowded onto the Strawberry Mansion block around 6 p.m. when a group of men were involved in a shoot out that traveled along the street, Chief Inspector Scott Small said.

One of the teenage girls was shot in her eye, she was taken to Temple University Hospital and was listed in critical condition as of 8 p.m.

The second victim was wounded in her chest, head and stomach and was listed in stable condition, police said.

"It makes absolutely no sense at all. This block was loaded with children," police commissioner Charles Ramsey said as a young boy scurried past police bouncing his basketball near a hop-scotch grid on the street. Red, white and blue streamers that were draped over the street swayed overhead in the breeze as neighbors looked on. "At what point does it stop?" Ramsey asked.

Police from the Central Detective Division remained on the scene around 7:45 p.m. canvassing the block for evidence as dusk settled over the neighborhood.

Cops from the 39th police district took a 17-year-old boy into custody on Cumberland Street near Natrona after witnesses positively identified him, Small said.

Private surveillance cameras in the area may have recorded part of the incident, and police were reviewing the footage Thursday night.

"Hopefully these two little girls come out of this okay," Small said.

Police were unsure of the motive behind the shooting.

A Philadelphia police detective was arrested Thursday for allegedly stealing from a Kohl's department store in Bensalem.

Deborah Gore, 43, a 17-year veteran of the force, was charged with retail theft for the incident from May 1. 

Gore is the second Philadelphia police officer arrested this week and the fifth this year.  Earlier this week, police officer Bridgett Paris was arrested on retail theft and related offenses in connection with stealing from a Toys ‘R’ Us in South Philadelphia.

As is customary with police officers charged with misconduct, Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey will suspend Gore for 30 days with intent to dismiss.

The Tacony neighborhood where police say a 41-year-old woman murdered her 18-month-old twins, attempted to poison her 4-year-old daughter, then tried to kill herself on Thursday morning was reeling in the wake of the shocking crime.

"I was surprised when I heard that. I've been living in Philly more than 50 years, and I never heard anything like this. Especially with kids, little babies," neighbor Rafael Hernandez, 63, said as he sat across the street from the house where the kids were killed.

Mary Zajak, 36, a mother of four who also lives on the block, choked up when she talked about her neighbor's alleged slaying of her children.

"It broke my heart and brought me to tears," Zajak said. "I don't know why any mother would kill their kid. I'm really upset."

Between disbelieving neighbors' chats, tensions ran high on part of the crowded street as police investigated the double murder, and a fight broke out up the block. Police at the scene rushed to separate two women who appeared to be shouting at each other over their own children.

Reshia Jones, 17, who has a baby due in August and lives a few doors down from where the children were killed, said she was shocked.

"When I heard she killed her babies, I thought, 'Why?' That family was so together," Jones said.

The woman was the second this year to allegedly murder two of her children.

Last Aug. 31, Chanthy Mao, 27, admitted she stabbed her 8-year-old son, Savann Mao, and 12-year-old daughter, Savanna Mao, to death in their South Philadelphia home. After stabbing the children in their beds with a kitchen knife, the mother swallowed rat poison in a suicide attempt. She was treated at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and charged with murder. Family told police Chanthy had been depressed.

Last March 26, Donna Evans, 39, bludgeoned her daughter, Madison Evans, 11, to death then killed herself at their home in North Heidelberg Township, near Reading. She left notes saying she was upset over a broken relationship.

Possibly the most sensational case in Philadelphia was that of Marie Noe, now 83,  who was charged with suffocating eight of her 12 babies between 1949 and 1968. She was sentenced to five years house arrest and 20 years on probation with the justification that she must be studied by experts to understand why a woman would kill her babies. The studies never happened.

According to the American Anthropological Association, more than 200 women kill their children in the U.S. each year.

A 34-year-old man was hospitalized in critical condition after he was shot by police in West Philadelphia Thursday afternoon, police said.

Officers responded to the area of 54th Street and Haverford Avenue for a report of a man with a gun shortly before 4 p.m. and saw a man who matched the description of the suspect on Parrish Street, cops said.

When the officers approached the man, police say he reached toward his waist and ran into a garage on 53rd Street near Ogden.

The cops followed the man and ordered him to show them his hands but he did not comply, prompting one officer to open fire, striking the suspect once in the chest, according to police.

The man was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and listed in critical condition. As of 10 p.m., police had not recovered a weapon at the scene and continued to investigate the circumstances surrounding the police-involved shooting.

A Torresdale man who posed as a cop and robbed three men after saying he needed to pat them down was arrested after an off-duty detective spotted the man and told police where to find him.

John Echols, 39, of Torresdale, was arrested on charges of robbery, theft, impersonating a police officer and additional offenses, police announced Thursday.

Echols and an accomplice stopped their car near a 45-year-old man who was walking along Frankford Avenue near Decatur Street Monday afternoon, identified themselves as cops and told the man that he fit the description of an assault suspect.

Echols told the man to put his hands on his car while he checked his identification, police said. He returned the man’s wallet and said he was free to go. Police said the victim later realized that $30 was missing from his wallet.

At about 9 a.m. Tuesday, Echols stopped a 22-year-old man who was walking along Van Kirk Street near Langdon in Crescentville and identified himself as a cop. Echols told the man that he fit a suspect description and would have to be searched, cops said. Echols rummaged through the man’s pockets and stole $30 from him before driving off, police said.

Around 11:15 a.m. Tuesday, Echols stopped his white Dodge Avenger with Georgia tags near a 26-year-old man who was walking along Marsden Street near Magee Avenue in Tacony. Echols told the victim that he was a police officer, patted the man down and started removing his personal belongings from his pockets. Police said he stole $123 from the man before driving off.

An off-duty detective spotted Echols driving his white Dodge Avenger around 4:35 p.m., called police and followed the man to Roosevelt Boulevard near Michener Street in Bustleton.

Police stopped Echols and took him to the Northeast Detective Division for questioning.

He was arrested and is being held in the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility on $600,000 bail, according to court documents.

Police said Echols, of Rowena Drive near Brook Lane, has 18 prior arrests for offenses including involuntary manslaughter, theft, burglary, forgery and narcotics.

A 35-year-old woman was arrested Tuesday and charged with several counts of arson and related offenses for allegedly setting fires throughout Frankford this month and last, police said.

Nicole Bilbrough, of Pratt Street near Frankford Avenue, was arrested shortly after 5 p.m. Tuesday on Orthodox Street near Paul in Frankford, police said. She is accused in 10 arsons in the neighborhood, according to cops, and is facing charges of causing catastrophe, possession of an instrument of crime, reckless endangerment and related offenses, in addition to arson.

A 20-year-old man is fighting for his life after he was shot in Olney Wednesday afternoon about a block from where a man and a woman were shot and killed on a porch last Monday.

Police said the man was shot once in the lower back on 3rd Street near Spencer just after 3:30 p.m. He was taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center in a private vehicle and listed in critical condition.

Last Monday, Rodney Ramseur and his girlfriend, Latia Jones, both 21, were shot and killed as they sat on Ramseur’s porch at 3rd and Sparks streets, about a block north of where Tuesday afternoon’s shooting took place. Police said Ramseur may have been targeted in retaliation for testifying in a murder case.

Cops were investigating what motivated Tuesday afternoon’s shooting.
