An arrest was made in connection to a shooting that wounded seven people, including three kids, in Philadelphia last month.
Dennis Tindal, 36, was arrested Tuesday and charged with seven counts of aggravated assault, conspiracy and other related offenses.
Police say Tindal was involved in a verbal and physical altercation with three other men back on June 22 around 10 a.m. on the 700 block of East Hilton Street. After the scuffle, Tindal left the location and said he would return, according to investigators.
Tindal eventually came back to the same location around 2:30 p.m. while a cookout was taking place, investigators said. Tindal was with another man who he gave a shotgun to, according to investigators.
The unidentified man then opened fire striking a 3-year-old girl, 11-year-old girl, 10-year-old boy, 31-year-old woman, 47-year-old man, 25-year-old man and 23-year-old man, police said.
Four of the victims reportedly suffered graze wounds, and the three additional victims were taken to Temple University Hospital, where two were in critical condition and one was stable, according to police. The shotgun was recovered by police at the scene.
While Tindal is in custody police are still searching for the man who opened fire. He's described as a stocky man standing 5-foot-8 between the ages of 25 and 30. He was last seen wearing a red and white tank top.
A $10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the identity, arrest and conviction of the shooter. If you have any information please call East Detective Division at 215-686-3243, the tip line at 215-686-TIPS or call 911.
