An investigation is underway after police said a young man was shot and killed overnight in Philadelphia’s Strawberry Mansion neighborhood following an argument. <\/p>\n
According to police, just before 12:30 a.m. on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, officers were called to the area of 31st and Norris Street after receiving reports of gunshots. <\/p>\n
When officers arrived, police said they found an 18-year-old man lying in the backyard of a private residence on the 1900 block of North 31st Street near a fence. He was unresponsive and suffering from one gunshot wound to his torso.<\/p>\n
Police rushed him to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead just after 1 a.m. <\/p>\n
At the scene, police said more than ten spent shell casings were found. It appears that the shooter or shooters were firing from multiple locations in that area. <\/p>\n
Police said a witness reported seeing a verbal altercation that escalated into gunfire. Two witnesses have been transported to police headquarters for questioning. <\/p>\n
Investigators hope that real-time crime cameras and several private surveillance cameras in the area will help them with this investigation. <\/p>\n
Police believe that the shooter or shooters may have been a part of a group of teens and after the gunfire, they may have fled the scene in a white or light-colored SUV. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An investigation is underway after police said a young man was shot and killed overnight in Philadelphia’s Strawberry…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":266178,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5132],"tags":[5229,4222,1448,2830,1311,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-266177","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-gun-violence","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\/115292602842108937","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266177","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=266177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266177\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
