Whether the suspect has entered a plea or appointed, an attorney to speak on their behalf is unknown.

Another individual was detained, but authorities aren’t sure what their alleged link to the suspected sh00ter is.

Police think that all those who were shot were either on the street or in automobiles, and they are currently looking for a motive because there is no apparent connection between the suspect and the victims.

“All we know is that this person decided to leave their home and target individuals,” said Outlaw at the conference.

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said he is “outraged that mass shootings like this continue to happen across the U.S.”
