4 dead in a bloody weekend

Amid a busy weekend bustling with criminal activity, including four killings in about 12 hours, two stabbings and two shootings, police arrested two people accused of two of the crimes.

Nicole Wilson, 26, was arrested yesterday after police said she beat a 66-year-old man to death at a Sunoco gas station in Logan.

Police said Wilson beat the man after an argument over a cigarette about 4 a.m. on Broad Street near Windrim Avenue. The unidentified man was pronounced dead at Albert Einstein Medical Center at 5:23 a.m.

Derrick Whitfield, 23, was arrested yesterday. Police said he shot a man he followed out of the Last Call Bar, on Frankford Avenue near Vista Street, in Northeast Philadelphia, after an argument.

Lt. Frank Vanore, a police spokesman, said Whitfield tracked the man to Decatur Street near Craig and shot him multiple times at about 2:25 a.m.

The victim led police to Whitfield's home on Aberdale Street near Tolbut, where he was arrested. Whitfield is charged with attempted murder, weapons charges and related offenses, Vanore said.
