Daily News | West Philly street group members charged with three shootings, including two homicides
Philadelphia law enforcement officials on Tuesday announced the arrests of four people affiliated with West Philadelphia street groups who they say are responsible for committing multiple shootings in 2021 that left two people dead.
Williams is affiliated with “56st,” Palmer said, a group based in the Cobbs Creek neighborhood that also goes by “Christy Rec,” a reference to the nearby recreation center.Trevon Johnson, 20, Jahsir Nelson, 18, and Kenneth Wilson, 22, were also charged with murder, attempted murder, and firearms violations after prosecutors said they committed two shootings in June 2021.
Johnson was taken into custody last week, Palmer said, while Williams, Wilson, and Nelson were already in state custody for separate incidents.This is the second indictment of West Philadelphia-based street group members in six months, and part of a larger initiative in the DA’s Office to crack down on gun violence through long-term investigations that rely heavily on forensic testing, social media communications, and secret grand jury proceedings.
After the 02da4 arrests, he said, attention turned toward associated groups like 56st, a close ally of 02da4.
