Cops nab one man, search for 2nd in S. Philly shooting
Police today arrested a teenager on charges of attempted murder, assault and related offenses in a shooting Sunday in South Philly that injured four, including a 6-year-old girl.
Tyler Linder, of the 400 block of Little Sigel Street, turned himself in to the South Detective Division around 12:30 today, said Philadelphia Capt. Laurence Nodiff, commander of the division.
Linder, 19, is one of two men police said opened fire on a group of people as they sat outside a house on the 1600 block of S. 18th Street last Sunday around 6:30 p.m. Nodiff asked for the public's help in locating the second man, 17-year-old Charles Rice, known as "C.J." U.S. Marshals have posted a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest of Rice, of the 1600 block of Orkney Street.
The victims in the shooting were all hit in the legs and feet and are expected to recover from their injuries, police said. Police believe the shooting stemmed from ongoing arguments between two gangs in the neighborhood.
"Obviously, this is outrageous behavior, that on a Sunday evening you cannot sit in front of your house and enjoy the night," Nodiff said.
Anyone with information about Rice can call the Marshals at (866) 865-8477.
How about NOT sitting in front of your house and sit in your living room instead. Sitting on your "stoop" is very trashy/ghetto.— taxmanndumbeth- What? You can't sit on your front step? This is the same neighborhood that blacks would rather see drug dealers than white people tending a garden. They reap what they sow.— imarealist
- I`m a real(a*%hole)ist,how can you say what afro-americans want to see in their neighborhood did you take a poll? You see when some law makers chose to put a law that parents can`t raise their children with some will placed whippings (that right I said the w-word) time out can only work for so long,now those kids are wild and don`t know how to act unless they`re getting their way,now the police are whipping them.THINK ABOUT IT?— Charliewonk
- These "kids" are probably crazy criminals BECAUSE they are being whipped at home! Are you nuts? Whipping your grown children is not the answer. You don't fight violence with more violence. There is no excuse for grown teenagers to be shooting people!!!!! — Lex22
