Eyewitness account

Ramon Cruz, who owns a bodega in the neighborhood, told NBC10 that he heard the shooting.

"Like 15, 14 shots and you know I told whoever was in the store, 'Get down! Get down,'" Cruz said.

Cruz told NBC10 there have been multiple shootings near his store, including an incident in 2023 in which he was almost hit by a bullet that entered his business.

"It's scary and makes you nervous. At the same time I'm used to this. It's like the third or fourth time it happened," Cruz said. "Too many weapons in the streets. Too many people carrying weapons. Everybody's carrying firearms. I understand that a lot of people, illegal. A lot of people carrying weapons with no license."

Reward Announced

The  Philadelphia Police have announced $20,000 reward for any information that may lead to the arrest in connection with the shooting.

As per the Philadelphia Police Department website, 56 homicide incidents have been reported in 2025 so far.
