Police found 17 shell casings at the scene of the shooting.
Police described the suspects as three unknown black males. Two were wearing all black and one was wearing all white.
They were in a 2004-2008 charcoal gray Acura TSX with an unknown Pennsylvania tag, missing front grille, damage to rear trunk with yellow tie down strap securing trunk, numerous decals in rear window. The vehicle was last seen traveling eastbound on Somerset Street towards 24th Street.
Officers located the vehicle through information developed during the investigation, and the vehicle was put under surveillance. Shortly thereafter, an individual, later identified as Tyheed Harvey, was taken into custody as he got into the vehicle.
After further investigation, on Friday Harvey was charged in connection with the shooting.
"This senseless blatant disregard for life has no place in our city," Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin J. Bethel said. "The swift response and diligent work of our officers and Shooting Investigations Group Detectives have led to a significant arrest with more to come. I am both proud and thankful of the men and women of our department for the work they do each and every day. We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure justice for the victims and safety for all residents of Philadelphia."
