Philly DA names 10 sought in separate Northwest Philly murders

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, on Tuesday, released a list of suspected killers in a number of slayings that happened in the city's Northwest Philly neighborhood.

These individuals are being sought in crimes that date back to 2021.

During the day, Krasner was joined by Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal, who made a point to warn those on the lam that they "don't want this smoke."

"Look at these people who are walking around our streets, they are wanted for murder," said Bilal. "That means, they won't hesitate to commit murder again."
