"On the day of his son’s funeral, he was so determined to be by his son’s side every final minute that he ran alongside the horse-drawn carriage carrying Da’Juan’s casket for nearly three miles." A remarkable feat of reporting from @EllieRushing inquirer.com/crime/inq2/phi…
In the month since a 12-year-old was shot and killed on his birthday, the child’s family and neighbors have not seen their mayor or council members or top police brass. “Somebody should have come for the child,” said the boy’s uncle. inquirer.com/news/east-germ…
A mother and her children were shot at more than 14 times during the Kingsessing shooting, and by the grace of God, they said, they survived. This is their harrowing story: inquirer.com/news/kingsessi…
The man accused of killing five people during a harrowing rampage in Southwest Philly on Monday night told police the shooting spree was an attempt to help authorities address the city’s gun violence crisis, & that God would be sending more people to help. inquirer.com/news/philadelp…
Great story from @cs_palmer on the longtime feud between two South Philly street groups, and the people members shot and killed just because they "don’t like each other." inquirer.com/news/south-phi…

Rasul Benson's murder went unsolved for almost two years. But at this month's trial for two accused shooters, a key witness provided a rare glimpse into the type of recurring violence that can take hold in the city. inquirer.com/news/south-phi…
15 Philly cops were fired in 2019 for making racist, misogynistic or otherwise offensive Facebook posts. Some of those firings have been overturned. w/ @cs_palmer inquirer.com/news/philadelp…
Shaurn Thomas is a millionaire — he was paid $4M three years ago after spending 24 years in prison for a murder later overturned. But he’s behind bars again now for killing a man over a $1,200 drug debt, prosecutors say. An incredible tale from @cs_palmer inquirer.com/news/shaurn-th…

Philly has a gun problem. Straw buying makes it worse. An @PhillyInquirer review showed how nearly 900 guns ended up in circulation. Important work by @cs_palmer @EllieRushing @Vellastrations & @dylancpurcell inquirer.com/news/inq2/penn…
Straw purchasing contributes to Philly's gun violence. But catching the buyers is hard. A deep dive into the issue w/@EllieRushing @Vellastrations @dylancpurcell @jessicagriffin inquirer.com/news/inq2/penn…
It has actually not been that common in Philly's modern history for a new mayor to retain the police commissioner. A look at the history and the future, with @cs_palmer: inquirer.com/politics/elect…
Sheriff Rochelle Bilal asked Council for millions to boost hiring But an internal memo shows just months ago she took money meant to hire deputies and plowed it into raises for her executive staff — and tried to double her own salary w/@wbender99 trib.al/IUOuMbX
Devin Weedon, 15, was laid to rest today — another one of Philadelphia’s children stolen from their family by a person with a gun. inquirer.com/news/devin-wee…
As I was just leaving the home of a man fatally shot yesterday I heard gunshots. I go around the corner and see neighbors surrounding two men who were just shot, trying to keep one man alive. “Just breathe.” “Open your eyes.” People running out in panic. “Was it my brother?”
Philly has agreed to pay $9.25 million to more than 300 people who were injured by police during the 2020 racial justice protests following the police murder of George Floyd. trib.al/WBWh6df
The student who wrote this is in my writing workshop. I knew when I saw it that it needed to be shared because I think there are very few Philly public school kids who HAVE NOT had a similar experience. She's speaking for thousands here.

Cherelle Parker in 2020 asked voters to ban illegal stop-and-frisk. Now running for mayor, she’s positioned herself as open to the use of stop-and-frisk as a crime-fighting strategy. She says “I’m no flip-flopper.” ACLU says it’s “terribly harmful.” inquirer.com/news/cherelle-…
