'We hope to have something to report soon as to where we are,' said Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel, declining to elaborate.
Police ‘making great progress’ on investigations into the shootings of 11 teens this week, Bethel said
“We’re making great progress. I’ll leave it at that,” Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said Friday. “The men and women have done a phenomenal job since the incident happened Monday, and I could not be more proud of them. … We hope to have something to report soon as to where we are.” A Janazah, a Muslim prayer service, was held for Taylor at Khadijah Alderman Funeral Home Friday morning, and he was buried at Chelten Hills Cemetery shortly after. Taylor’s family has declined to speak as they grieve the loss, but school officials described him as a bright, compassionate young man filled with school spirit, and who came from a family with a long line of Imhotep alums.
Once he was far enough way to feel safe, the teen felt a “burning sensation” in his back, the brother said, and a passerby said he was bleeding. The boy called his mother and sister, who picked him up and took him to Temple University Hospital’s Jeanes Campus.
