Photos released of vehicle being sought after 7 people shot in North Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Police have released photos of the vehicle they’re looking for after a shooting in North Philadelphia left seven people injured on Wednesday night.

The car is described as a 2004 to 2008 charcoal gray Acura TSX with an unknown Pennsylvania license plate.

The car is missing its front grille and has a yellow tie-down strap securing a damaged trunk.

It also has multiple decals on the rear window and faded paint near the sunroof.

The shooting happened around 6:30 p.m. on the 2800 block of North Bambrey Street.

Police say a vehicle was seen pulling up on Somerset Street. Three men then got out of the car, and that’s when at least one of them fired 17 shots down the block from the intersection.

The victims, who are between the ages of 16 and 46, were all shot while standing outside. Police say they are all listed as stable at an area hospital.

Once on scene, officers found two women who were shot in the leg. They were taken to Temple University Hospital.

Police say a 16-year-old girl, who suffered graze wounds to the abdomen and a leg, was taken to St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children.

The four other people who were shot – two men and two women – showed up at the hospital with gunshot wounds.

“We believe there’s many, many people that were out and that’s why there are so many shooting victims,” said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small. “We believe they shot into this crowd intentionally and someone in the crowd may have been the intended target.”

It’s still unclear what led up to the gunfire.

Anyone with information on the suspects is asked to call police at 215-686-TIPS.
