PHILADELPHIA - Police have announced two arrests in the shooting death of a 14-year-old boy who was shot as many as 18 times in Feltonville on Monday afternoon.
They say three other persons of interest remain at large. Samir Jefferson, 14, was identified as the victim in the shooting at the intersection of Wyoming and Rising Sun Avenue earlier this week.
Wednesday afternoon, police say it appears there were three shooters in the incident and they recovered nearly three dozen spent shell casings at the scene.
Philadelphia Police Deputy Commissioner Ben Nash says they received help from the public that led them to a house and two individuals who were taken in for questioning Monday evening.
