A victim in last week’s Kingsessing mass shooting was fatally shot nearly two days before the others died, according to police.
One of the five people police identified as victims of the mass shooting in Kingsessing on July 3 was actually killed nearly two days earlier, law enforcement officials said Sunday.
Police said in their statement that they responded to a 911 call for reports of gunfire on Wamah’s block on July 2. But officers were dispatched to the wrong address — the 1600 block of North 56th Street, not South 56th Street — and did not see any evidence of gunfire, police said.The mass shooting began around 8:30 p.m. July 3 and traced along South 56th Street near Chester and Springfield Avenues in the Kingsessing section in Southwest Philadelphia.
Police said they responded to a report of gunshots about 2 a.m. July 2, about 90 minutes after authorities believe Wamah was killed. Officers said they surveyed the block and neighbors without finding anything — because they were sent to the wrong address. The two said police were called, but never came. Carter said she later had a panic attack and went to a local hospital. She was terrified, she said, that something would happen to her children.
Joseph Wamah Jr. was a polite and quiet man who mostly kept to himself, said Muhammad, who has lived nearby for three years. Sometimes, he would sit on Muhammad’s front stoop to smoke, she said.“I’m scared,” said Muhammad. “I’m looking every which way even though he’s caught.”
