3rd Suspect In Dilworth Park Shooting Identified

PHILADELPHIA — Authorities have identified the third suspect sought in connection with last week's shooting that left one teen critical and two others hurt.

According to the U.S. Marshals Service, Raheem Hylton, 16, is wanted for aggravated assault.

Authorities said Hylton is wanted for the shooting that occurred at 4:33 p.m. Friday in Dilworth Park, near the Christmas village and ice rink.

A 14-year-old boy is still in critical condition after being shot in the eye. Two others, 14 and 15, were also hurt.

Hylton is the third teenager charged in the incident. One was taken into custody Friday, another Wednesday morning.

At a news conference Wednesday, police said the shooting stemmed from an instance of bullying.

One of the suspects was mocking the younger brother of the teen who is critical, police said. That led to an argument, which escalated to the shooting, according to authorities.

Hylton is 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 145 pounds, authorities said. His last known address is on the 1200 block of Levick Street. He is also listed as a runaway juvenile.

Hylton should be considered armed and dangerous.

Police said they are looking for other people involved in the shooting.

Anyone with information regarding the shooting is urged to contact Philadelphia Police Department at 215-686-8270, submit tips anonymously at 215-686-8477, or call the U.S. Marshals Service at 866-865-TIPS.
