A double shooting in Juniata Park on Monday night has caused neighbors to call for the city to implement safety measures that will deter crime in their residential area. <\/p>\n
The shooting, which took place in the 4000 block of Claridge Street at around 10:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 25, 2025, left two men injured, <\/p>\n
Evidence markers were seen throughout the day in the alley between Claridge and Howell streets, which is just feet away from an elementary school. <\/p>\n
Surveillance video exclusively shared with NBC10 shows two men being dropped off at Luzerne Street. <\/p>\n
And then two minutes later, the two men open fire on two more men at the 4000 block of Claridge Street. <\/p>\n
The two men are then picked up in the same car they were dropped off in at Luzerne Street.<\/p>\n
“They sell drugs and it is like a drive through. It’s like non-stop. You don’t know when the next time is going to happen,” a concerned citizen, who wanted to remain anonymous out of fears of retaliation, said of the area. <\/p>\n
The concerned citizen said neighbors heard around a dozen gunshots as they were getting ready for bed. <\/p>\n
“I even got a conceal, because that\u2019s how worried I am now. I’m scared to go out with my wife,” the concerned citizen said. <\/p>\n
The concerned citizen says neighbors want to see more action and measures put into place from Philadelphia officials to curb crime before an innocent bystander becomes a fatal victim in the violence. <\/p>\n
“We need cameras live on Howell and Claridge and L Street,” the concerned citizen said. “Those three streets. Visible. And in between the houses, put out more lights. Brighter lights, so that everybody can be seen. More police.” <\/p>\n
The two injured in the shooting were taken to the hospital and Philadelphia Police are investigating the incident. <\/p>\n
No arrests have been made.<\/p>\n
