Law enforcement sources say two young men each accused of fatally shooting innocent bystanders during the chaotic South Street shooting arrived in Philadelphia on Wednesday after being tracked down by federal authorities last week in Virginia.
Quadir Dukes-Hill and Nahjee Whittington, both 18, were taken into custody at an apartment building in Richmond, Virginia by a team of U.S. Marshals. Officials say Dukes-Hill is facing murder charges in the shooting death of 24-year-old Alexis Quinn. Whittington, a Philadelphia resident, allegedly fired the shot that fatally struck 22-year-old Kristopher Minners and injured another person.arrived in Philadelphia on Wednesday after being tracked down by federal authorities last week in Virginia.
A law enforcement source told FOX 29 that the apartment where the pair were hiding belongs to a friend who also may have ties to Philadelphia. Dukes-Hill and Whittington join two other suspects who are also facing charges in last Saturday's shooting. Earlier in the week, the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office and local authorities reported the arrests of 18-year-old Quran Garner and 34-year-old Rashaan Vereen.
The DA's office said Towns is not currently being charged in the shooting because he acted in self-defense. Days later, Mayor Jim Kenney called for Towns' arrest, saying Towns "acted in a way that created a chain of events that caused the death of at least two innocent people and the wounding a bunch of other innocent people and I don't think he should walk."
