Qaadir Dukes-Hill, 18, and Nahjee Whittington, 18, were arrested in Richmond, Va., and are expected to face murder charges after being extradited back to Philadelphia.
Whittington is also expected to be charged with shooting another man in the calf, officials said, and both he and Dukes-Hill could face additional charges if ballistics tests reveal that their bullets struck other victims who survived.
Elsewhere in Center City on Thursday afternoon, a group of about 100 faith leaders and supporters marched from the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul to City Hall, holding t-shirts bearing the names and ages of some of the more than 500 people killed by guns in Philadelphia last year — the highest annual total on record.
Authorities have said the incident that led to the deaths of Quinn and Minners began as a confrontation between two groups of men around 11:30 p.m. Saturday on the 200 block of South Street. Meanwhile, moments later and across the street, 18-year-old Quran Garner — an apparent friend of Towns’ — began firing shots from a homemade “ghost” gun into the panicked crowd, prosecutors said. A police officer who arrived noticed Garner shooting and returned fire, striking Garner in the hand and causing him to run away, prosecutors said.
Neither teen was eligible to have purchased a handgun in Pennsylvania. But investigators believe Dukes-Hill fired a .40-caliber firearm that killed Quinn at the intersection of Third and South Streets, while Whittington shot a 9mm handgun, killing Minners and injuring at least one other person.
