Daily News | Four young men charged in the fatal Roxborough High shooting should stand trial, judge orders
. Prosecutors said the teens fatally shot Tahmir Jones, 19, who is not related to Zyhied Jones, outside his North Philadelphia home on Sept. 26.
The shooting shook the city, with local leaders, celebrities, and professional athletes questioning where Philadelphia’s children, if not at school or playing sports, could be safe — and how those responsible for the crime could be so young. The shooting outside Roxborough High erupted just after 4:30 p.m., and the offenders fled in a green Ford Explorer.
Inside the car, prosecutors said police found a yellow latex glove with Miller’s DNA. And on the ground at the scene, close to where the car was parked, they recovered a small Ziploc bag of marijuana with Jones’ DNA. Investigators also found a photograph of a handgun in Miller’s phone that had a serial number matching a weapon used in the shooting. Data connected to the photo showed it was taken two days after the shooting, according to prosecutors, but they could not say with certainty whether Miller took it.
