Following the attack, a neighbor of the child transported him to Nazareth Hospital, and he was then conveyed to Jefferson Torresdale, where he received necessary treatment for a gunshot wound on his leg.
As per the Philadelphia Police Department, the parents of the child were not admitted to either hospital and were later found unharmed a few blocks away from the site of the shooting. The authorities noted that the parents do not reside on Meridian Street, and the local residents are unfamiliar with them.
Chief Inspector Scott Small stated, “It took us about an hour to locate the mother and the father, who we have now,” elucidating the challenges faced by the police department while investigating the case. Moreover, Small mentioned that the shooter was firing toward the parents, emphasizing the police’s perspective and current investigations.
On Thursday, the police were questioning the parents for any leads on the shooter’s identity and motive.
Based on eyewitness statements and evidence, the authorities have described the suspect as a heavily built black female with long dreadlocks. She was wearing a black sweatshirt and light blue jeans during the time of the assault.
To track down this, the police urge all possible eyewitnesses or individuals with relatable information to come forward with tips by calling 215-686-TIPS (8477). All given data will be kept confidential.

Feel the brotherly love.
So the shooting involves drugs and a gun. That rabid animal should have been put down on the spot and the mother needs to be charged too.
Don’t forget the cowardly baby daddy who ditched his kid.
drugs and guns are inanimate objects. the only thing that matters is the animal that caused it.
it’s a monster; don’t insult animals like this….they don’t act like someone like her.
Should “people”like this even get trials? It’s on video! Punishment should be expedited, and it should be severe!
It should be required that every courthouse still have tall strong oak trees on the front lawn and a ticket booth.
We need to bring back the DEATH PENALTY and rid these types of criminals…not feed them with taxpayer money!!
💯 i say we need to bring back hanging. i think that this would help deter crimes from happening.
Agree. Our prison system should focus on punishment, not “rehabilitation”
Spot on some people just can’t be rehabbed and that is one of them.
No shock at all.
Disgusting beast.
a mother with a seven month old baby. That kid is already screwed.
I get it if it was a drug deal gone bad, but you don’t shoot babies!!! A shame this animal was captured alive.
Please don’t insult animals….
Just another day in Philadelphistan.
Well well well
The mother and father abandoned the
child at the hospital.
Apparently the parents took off and left the injured infant…..a person in the neighborhood took the infant to the hospital. Find foster parents for this child please. Who leaves their injured child????
Make the Death Penalty Great Again!
The mom didn’t pay for her narcotics.
