A teenager is dead after bullets flew in front of a North Philadelphia church overnight. Minutes later, police said two other teens showed up with gunshot wounds at an area hospital. Now, Investigators are looking into whether it’s all connected.

According to police, officers first responded to the 1700 block of West Huntington Street in North Philadelphia around 2 a.m. Friday, August 1, 2025, after receiving reports of a shooting.

A teen boy was found unresponsive on the sidewalk in front of a church, bleeding from gunshot wounds to his face and head, police said. He was transported to a local hospital and pronounced dead at 2:08 a.m.

Police said two spent shell casings were recovered near his body, indicating that the shooter or shooters fired at close range.

According to police, real-time crime cameras had shown the victim walking westbound with two other individuals before the shooting.

Then, the surveillance video showed that after the shooting, two individuals fled the scene eastbound wearing dark clothing, gloves and masks, police said. It is believed that the victim likely knew the two individuals.

Investigators hope that private surveillance cameras in the area may provide more angles so they can piece together what happened.

Police said just 30 minutes after the deadly shooting, two other teen boys showed up at an area hospital in a dark-colored sedan with a broken rear window, both suffering from gunshot wounds.

One teen boy had a gunshot wound to the leg, and the other teen boy was unconscious and unresponsive, suffering from gunshot wounds to his back and leg, according to police.

According to police, the vehicle that the two teens were driving appeared to be stolen, with a screwdriver in the ignition. This same vehicle was also seen speeding off from the scene where the teen boy was killed earlier.

At this time, police said they are investigating the possible connection between all the shooting victims based on the timing, vehicle description and age group.

Anyone with information is urged to contact police.

This comes as Philadelphia police get ready to launch a new program aimed at stopping juvenile violence in that same area.
