Suspect arrested, charged in mass shooting that left 7, including teen, hurt in Philly

Seven people -- including a teenage girl -- have been injured after a shooting in North Philadelphia Wednesday evening, police said. A man has been taken into custody and charged in connection to the shooting as investigators search for two more suspects.

Just after 6:20 p.m., Philadelphia police officers were called to the 2800 block of North Bambrey Street for multiple people shot, investigators said.

When officers arrived, they found two women suffering from gunshot wounds to the leg, police said.

Around that same time three other people -- a woman and two men -- showed up to the hospital by private vehicles, police said.

The three women who were shot are 46, 29 and 34, police said. The two men who were shot are 23 and 19.

A sixth victim -- a 16-year-old girl -- at the scene approached officers and said she believed she was struck by a bullet, police said. She was transported to the hospital with a graze wound to her stomach.

A seventh victim, an 18-year-old woman, showed up to the hospital by private vehicle with a gunshot wound to the lower back.

All of the victims are in stable condition except for the 19-year-old man who was shot in the back. He is currently in critical condition, police said.

Small said all the victims were standing on the sidewalk when a dark-colored four-door sedan pulled up, going eastbound on Somerset Street, and possibly three men got out, investigators said. That was when more than 20 shots were fired into a crowd. The shooters then got back into the waiting car and drove off.

"We believe they shot into this crowd intentionally and that someone may have been the intended target," Small said. "Very possible that several others or most of them were not the intended target, they were struck by stray gunfire."

Most of the victims live along North Bambrey Street, Small said.

Real-time crime cameras did capture the incident as well as private cameras in the area. The video shows the gunmen walking down the street before opening fire and then running off.

The three men were last seen getting back into the vehicle and going eastbound on Somerset Street, according to police. Investigators said two of the suspects were wearing all black clothing while the third suspect was wearing all white clothing.

Police described the suspects' vehicle as a 2004-2008 charcoal gray Acura TSX with an unknown Pennsylvania tag, missing front grille, damage to the rear trunk with a yellow tie down strap securing the trunk and numerous decals in the rear window.

On Thursday, a law enforcement source confirmed with NBC10 that police found the vehicle. Police are also currently speaking with a person associated with the vehicle though that person has not been charged, the source said.

Then, on Friday, a spokesperson with the Philadelphia Police Department announced the arrest of Tyheed Harvey, 23, as he got into his car.

"This senseless blatant disregard for life has no place in our city,” said Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel. “The swift response and diligent work of our officers and Shooting Investigations Group Detectives have led to a significant arrest with more to come. I am both proud and thankful of the men and women of our department for the work they do each and every day.  We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure justice for the victims and safety for all residents of Philadelphia.”

Harvey has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy and related offenses, police said.

Police told NBC10 that they are still searching for two more suspects.

Children continue to be struck by gunfire in Philadelphia. So far, minors have made up around 14% of the nearly 500 shootings in the city this year, according to data from the City Controller's Office.
