Search Continues for Olney Killers

Police hope surveillance video leads to alleged murderers

More than two months after a man was shot and killed on an Olney street, Philadelphia Police begged the public to help find the alleged triggermen.

The triple shooting happened on the 5000 block of N 5th Street around 3:45 in the morning on Oct. 1 when after two men pulled out guns, announced a robbery and began shooting, according to cops.

Bernabe Montes of North Jersey was killed while another man was shot in the stomach and another was hit in the finger, cops said.

On Tuesday, police released surveillance video of the incident and descriptions of the alleged gunmen and their getaway vehicle.

The first suspect is a black male in his mid-20s about 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-11 who was wearing a dark hoodie and a Phillies baseball cap. The second suspect is a black male in his mid-20s about 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-11 wearing all dark clothing.

Each suspect had a handgun and fled the area in a mid-sized white car -- possibly a four-door 1995 or 96 Honda Accord with a sun roof.

Police hoped that the video of the shooting could help them gather leads in the case. Anyone with information should contact Philly Police Homicide Unit at 215-686-3334/35. If you see the alleged shooter police say to call 9-1-1 immediately.
