Two teenage DoorDash delivery drivers were caught in the crossfire of a deadly shootout in North Philadelphia, resulting in the death of a 26-year-old man and injuries to the young women. Police believe the motive behind the shooting was drug-related.
A 26-year-old man was killed and two teenage girls, who were working as DoorDash delivery drivers, were injured in a triple shooting in North Philadelphia on Monday evening. Philadelphia Police Inspector D.F. Pace said the incident occurred shortly after 7:35 p.m. as the two girls, an 18-year-old woman and a 16-year-old girl, were making a delivery to a home along the 2800 block of Reese Street. According to Pace, a shootout erupted between two groups of people in the area.
Pace stated that the motive for the shooting appears to be drug-related, emphasizing the presence of at least 30 spent shell casings from three different calibers, indicating multiple shooters at the scene. The 26-year-old man, who Pace said was involved in the gun battle, was struck multiple times throughout his body. He was transported to a local hospital but was pronounced dead at 8:42 p.m. The 18-year-old woman sustained two gunshot wounds to the thigh, while the 16-year-old girl was shot once in the thigh. A third individual who was in the car with the delivery drivers took both teenagers to the hospital, where they are currently in stable condition. Philadelphia Police have not recovered any weapons from the scene, made any arrests, or released information about any potential suspects. Police are actively questioning the driver who transported the teenagers to the hospital as the investigation continues. Anyone with information regarding the shooting is urged to contact the Philadelphia Police Department at 215-686-8270 or submit an anonymous tip by calling 215-686-TIPS (8477)
