Police said two men and a woman were slain in separate shootings across the city late Sunday night.
Police are investigating after three people were killed in separate shootings in the city's Kensington, North Philly and Strawberry Mansion neighborhoods late Sunday
According to Philadelphia Police Inspector D.F. Pace, investigators believe the shooting happened when two gunmen opened fire on a group of individuals who were on the other side of the street. "He was a provider for his family. A good dude, man," Sanders said. “Played basketball. One of the best in this neighborhood. We were just talking trash the other day. He was probably one of the best in this neighborhood. Loved working out. Loved lifting weights. We all loved competition with each other. Just that brotherhood.”"He’s always going to be our brother," Sanders said."Always. Forever. It’s just sad that nonsense like this always happens to innocent people.
However, Pace said, a short time later, a 23-year-old man who had been shot in the neck and chest arrived at a nearby hospital. He was pronounced at about 11:17 p.m., officials said. Police later identified the victim as Anthony Turner of Philadelphia. In this incident, Pace said officers discovered a woman, later identified as 55-year-old Tonya Shelton of Philadelphia, who had been shot in the head. She was taken to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced at about 11:21 p.m., according to Pace.
He said officials are looking for surveillance footage in this shooting and the motive for this shooting is still unknown.
