Second person charged in North Philadelphia shooting that left seven injured – NBC10 Philadelphia

A second person has been arrested in connection with a mass shooting that left seven people injured in Philadelphia last month.

Khalif Duren, 23, turned himself in to police on Wednesday, July 10, in the 400 block of North Broad Street, investigators said. He is charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy and other related offenses.

There is no information in the online court records about legal counsel who could represent Duren.

The shooting occurred on June 19 at 6:21 p.m. Police said three suspects exited a dark gray Acura TSX that was parked on the corner of 26th.th and Somerset Street. According to investigators, the suspects then walked to the corner of Bambrey Street and Somerset Street, drew their weapons and opened fire on a group of people on Bambrey Street.

The suspects then returned to their vehicle and fled east on Somerset Street, police said.

A 46-year-old woman, a 29-year-old woman, a 23-year-old man, a 19-year-old man, a 34-year-old woman, a 16-year-old girl and an 18-year-old woman were injured in the shooting and taken to local hospitals.

The 19-year-old man who was shot in the back was in critical condition. The six other victims were all stable, police said.

On June 21, police located the vehicle involved in the shooting through information they gathered during the investigation and placed it under surveillance, officials said. Investigators said they then arrested 23-year-old Tyheed Harvey as he entered the vehicle.

Harvey was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy and other related offenses.

Police later identified Duren and Amirah Square, 20, as the other two suspects in the shooting.
