Three suspects, including two 18-year-olds, have been arrested in connection with a shooting last week that left eight high school students wounded at a bus stop in Northeast Philadelphia, officials and a law enforcement source say.
Three people have been arrested and one more is being sought in connection with a shooting last week that left eight high school students wounded at a transit bus stop in Northeast Philadelphia, authorities say. The injured students, ages 15 to 17, were at the bus stop just before 3 p.m. on March 6 when three people exited a car around the corner, walked up to them and fired at least 30 times before fleeing the scene, according to Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel. Police identified suspects using evidence that included two stolen vehicles, Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore said during a Monday news conference. Jamaal Tucker, 18, turned himself in, according to Vanore, and another 18-year-old, Ahnile Buggs, was arrested over the weekend. Each was being held with bail set at $16 million, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said Wednesday. US marshals and Philadelphia police arrested a third suspect, Jermahd Carter, 19, on Tuesday afternoon in Northeast Philadelphia, authorities announced Tuesday night. Carter’s bail was set at $4 million, according to the district attorney. “With the arrest of Jermahd Carter, we are now seeking one more suspect,” said Robert Clark, supervisory deputy US marshal for an eastern Pennsylvania fugitive task force, in a news release Tuesday. “We have asked this suspect’s family for a surrender by tomorrow morning and if this does not occur, we are prepared to aggressively pursue him with every investigative resource available.” On Wednesday, the Marshals’ office identified the fourth suspect as Asir Boone, 17, and said the deadline for him to turn himself in had passed. A $5,000 reward is being offered for information leading to his arrest, officials said.
