Teen Killed 'Execution' Style In North Philadelphia, 3 Sought: Police

PHILADELPHIA — A teenager was killed in what has been described as an "execution"style shooting Tuesday afternoon in Philadelphia, police said.

Police just after 4 p.m. responded to calls of shots fired and a shooting on the 1200 block of Van Kirk Street.

There, they found a 16-year-old boy on the ground behind a house, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and torso.

The victim was identified as Jamil Wyatt by police Wednesday.

Police rushed Wyatt to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 4:39 p.m.

Where officers found Wyatt, they also found more than 50 spent shell casings from at least one weapon, with some just inches from Wyatt.

Nearby cameras showed three people chasing Wyatt through a driveway on that block.

The footage apparently showed all three shooting at Wyatt.

After Wyatt fell, two of the suspects stood over him and fired more shots at him from point black range.

Police have not determined a motive, but did say Wyatt was temporarily living on that block.

The gunmen were last seen in a white Nissan Sentra with light tinted windows, and the vehicle was least seen leaving from the back driveway of a property on the 1200 block of Van Kirk Street.

Police described the suspects as three black or Hispanic men who were wearing all-black clothing and ski masks.
