Timeline of Mass Shooting Reveals First Victim Killed Two Days Prior

  • One of five victims of the July Fourth mass shooting in Philadelphia was actually killed nearly two days before the other fatalities.
  • The gunman, Kimbrady Carriker, allegedly shot through the door of Joseph Wamah Jr.'s home on July 2, killing him.
  • A mistaken 911 dispatch sent police to the wrong address, allowing the initial killing to go unnoticed until the mass shooting.
  • Carriker returned July 4, killing four others and injuring multiple people in a shooting spree along a Philadelphia street.
  • Authorities are now investigating the botched 911 response and why the first shooting went unreported for 44 hours.
