16-year-old killed in ‘execution-type’ ambush of 50 gunshots, Pennsylvania cops say
Three gunmen fired over 50 shots at a 16-year-old boy as they chased him up a driveway until he collapsed, Pennsylvania police said.
As the teen hit the ground, two of the gunmen stood over him and continued to fire shots, police said in a video posted by FOX29.
Philadelphia police officer Scott Small called the shooting an “execution-type” ambush because the shooters stood over the teen as they shot him.
Over 60 shell casings were found at the scene, police told WPVI.
Police said they received multiple 911 calls and found the teen lying in the rear driveway of a home around 4 p.m. July 24. By 4:40 p.m., the teen was pronounced dead.
The teen was later identified as Jamil Wyatt, according to FOX29. Wyatt had temporarily been living with a family on the block where the shooting occurred, police said.
Private video surveillance showed the shooting taking place, but police say they are still searching for the shooters.
They were last seen fleeing in a white sedan with tinted windows, police said.
