BREAKING UPDATE: Police identified a suspect in the shooting that injured a teen outside a Philly rec center earlier this week. They continue to search for him. New details HERE:
Police said a weapon was recovered but no arrests have been made. They released a surveillance photo of a suspect wearing a white mask, black North Face jacket, black sweatpants with distinct writing above the knees and green New Balance sneakers. Investigators later identified Williams as the suspect.
Just last week Clarke and other city leaders gathered outside the Dendy Rec Center and announced a plan to install over 100 cameras at 13 Philly parks and recreation centers in an effort to help curb gun violence. "A week ago we were standing here with residents from the community," he said."People were excited that we were putting safety cameras up. This is a center that is traditionally safe. A nice environment for young people and older people also. For something like this to happen today is just mind boggling."“My understanding is that the cameras are all live," he said."Hopefully the feed can give some sense of what actually happened.
AFSCME Union, which represents recreational center supervisors, called for more security officers rather than cameras. "They definitely assist us in solving these crimes and figuring out what happened," Brett Bessler, a member of AFSCME, told NBC10."That's why we need more boots on the ground.""Find out what they're doing. No secrets," Bessellieu said."My parents used to always say, 'It's my way or the high way.' Listen to them but don't give them so much of a choice.
