Police are investigating after a trail of blood led officers to a Kensington home that officials believe is tied to multiple recent shootings.
Police investigating after two men were reportedly shot at a property in Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood, late Tuesday, followed a fresh trail of blood into a home where investigators believe a woman was shot just two days before, officials said.
According to police, the discovery was made after officers responded to the 2900 block of Frankford Avenue for a reported shooting. There, just before midnight on Tuesday, police said, a 50-year-old man was found on the sidewalk, bleeding heavily, after being shot in the leg. First responders took the man to a nearby hospital where, officials said, he was listed in critical condition.
As officers were investigating the scene, Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said that a 32-year-old man showed up at an area hospital, where he was taken by a private vehicle.Small said that this man, who had been shot in the back, told police that he was also shot that evening at a property along the 2900 block of Frankford Avenue.At about the same time, officers on scene found a trail of fresh blood that led them to a property along the block, said Small.
