A 23-year-old man is being sought by police after, officials claim, he shot and killed a man who was dating his mother during an incident that happened in North Philadelphia on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

According to police, at about 9:29 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 17, 2025, officers responded to a home along the 1500 block of North Gratz Street, after 42-year-old Direll Skipworth had been shot in his chest, back and leg. <\/p>\n

Skipworth, officials said, was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced at about 9:54 p.m.<\/p>\n

Investigators believe the shooting stemmed from an ongoing dispute that Skipworth had with his girlfriend. That evening, officials said, the 23-year-old son of Skipworth’s girlfriend — who officials provided no further identifying information on — is alleged to have shot Skipworth after engaging in a physical altercation with him. <\/p>\n

After the shooting, police said, the 23-year-old alleged gunman is believed to have fled the scene. <\/p>\n

No arrests have yet been made. <\/p>\n

But, officials said, an investigation is ongoing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 23-year-old man is being sought by police after, officials claim, he shot and killed a man who…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":62603,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5132],"tags":[5229,12631,1448,2830,1311,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-156129","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-north-philadelphia","10":"tag-pa","11":"tag-pennsylvania","12":"tag-philadelphia","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115050680474657744","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156129"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156129\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
