Video shows suspect in North Philly double shooting

Investigators released video and images Wednesday showing a man accused of shooting two teenagers following an argument last month in North Philadelphia.

The shooting occurred at around 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 29, on the 5800 block of N. Lawrence Street, according to authorities. A 17-year-old boy and an 18-year-old woman were wounded, with police at the time saying both suffered nonlife-threatening injuries.

In the footage, from nearby business surveillance cameras, the alleged shooter can be seen walking with another man prior to the incident. Detectives said the suspect was wearing a distinctive BAPE branded hooded sweatshirt with the letters “WGM” on the right side of the hood.

Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to contact the PPD’s Shootings Investigation Group at 215-686-8271; call or text 215-686-8477; or submit a tip at www.phillypolice.com/forms/submit-a-tip.
