Fifth Teen Arrested in Connection with Philadelphia Bus Stop Shooting

The 15-year-old suspect acted as a lookout, signaling shooters as eight high school students were wounded.

A fifth teenager has been arrested in connection with a March 6 shooting at a Philadelphia bus stop that left eight high school students wounded.
The 15-year-old suspect, identified as Jeremiah Jefferson, served as a lookout and was in communication with the shooters, providing them with photos and descriptions of targets.
Police are investigating potential connections between the arrested teens and other crimes, including a separate homicide and a shooting outside Imhotep High School.
The motive for the bus stop shooting remains unclear, but it may be linked to a feud between groups of young people in the area.
All eight victims, aged between 15 and 17, are in stable condition, with one having been critically injured after being shot nine times.
