Police have identified the 21-year-old Southwest Philadelphia man wanted on murder, attempted murder and related charges in connection with a domestic-related quadruple shooting outside his home Thursday night that left one person dead.

Jabir Kennedy, of the 6600 block of Dorel Street, is considered armed and dangerous, police said Sunday.

According to police, Kennedy assaulted his girlfriend, with whom he has children, on the 1700 block of South 58th Street.
