Philadelphia police are looking for three suspects who shot and killed a teen while he returned home with his twin sister from their part-time job at a local McDonald’s late on Wednesday.
According to Police Chief Inspector Scott Small, Ahjaon Jackson had just got out of a Lyft at around 11 p.m. along with his sister on the 200 block of East Fariston Drive when two suspects approached him.
“It appears that he was clearly the intended target due to the fact that he was struck so many times by gunfire and the ballistic evidence was just feet, and some were just inches away from where he had collapsed,” Small said.
The 16-year-old was shot 15 times from close range before the suspects, described as wearing all black, and face masks took off. A semiautomatic gun was recovered from the scene.
