Philadelphia police on Tuesday released new details about a spate of homicides that occurred over the holiday weekend, anHomicide Capt. Jason Smith shared information on some of the weekend killings of people of all ages and walks of life, including a Montgomery County teen and a man experiencing homelessness, as the city’s unrelenting gun violence crisis continues. Smith also gave an update on suspects accused of fatally shooting a police officer’s son earlier this year.
“What we have not been able to determine is whether he was killed there or killed someplace else and dumped there. Also undetermined is the motive for the murder,” Smith said, noting the victim had no criminal record and the large sum of cash, which likely rules out a robbery. Smith said 17-year-old Theodore Crawford from Hatfield in Montgomery County was fatally shot, and an 18-year-old was wounded, after gunmen fired into a Lexus both young men were sitting in. At the scene, Smith said, police found three guns in the car — two ghost guns in a backpack carried by Crawford — and a stolen Smith & Wesson.
Smith said that Abney had no arrest record and that the wounded 28-year-old was the likely target in what investigators believe was gang-related violence., the son of a city police officer. Smith said Hill, 23, was the victim of a random robbery, replacing an earlier police theory that he may have been targeted and followed from the club where he worked part time as a bouncer.
