An 18-year-old man was gunned down Saturday in Overbrook, and at least three other people were injured in weekend shootings across Philadelphia.
Police said the teenager was shot more than a dozen times, with wounds to his head, chest and legs, at around 7 p.m. on the 6000 block of Clifford Terrace. He died minutes later at Lankenau Medical Center.
Three men believed to be involved in the shooting barricaded themselves inside a property on the nearby 6000 block of Hazelhurst Street, investigators said. The suspects got away by the time officers cleared the building.
On Sunday, at around 4:45 a.m., a 27-year-old man was shot in the stomach during a carjacking on the 1400 block of E. Cheltenham Avenue in the Oxford Circle section of Northeast Philadelphia, authorities said. He was later listed in critical condition at Temple University Hospital.
The suspects, four men, took off with his 2015 silver Mercedes Benz bearing the Pennsylvania tag No. LFD-2466. Anyone with information about the incident or car is asked to call 215-686-8477 or 215-686-8270.
A 15-year-old boy was shot once in his left hand just before midnight Saturday near the corner of 18th Street and Glenwood Avenue in North Philadelphia, police said. He is expected to physically recover.
Early Saturday morning, at around 1 a.m., someone shot a 33-year-old man in the buttocks at Broad and Saint Luke streets in the Nicetown neighborhood, authorities said.
Investigators said the victim showed up to Einstein Medical Center and was in stable condition.
