Suspect Identified, Charged in Philadelphia Mass Shooting
The suspect in the July 3 mass shooting in Philadelphia that left five people dead has been charged with murder, prosecutors announced on July 5.
The suspect, Kimbrady Carriker, 40, was arrested on the day of the shooting, but his identity wasn’t confirmed until July 5, when he was arraigned on murder and other charges.
Magistrate Naomi Williams ordered Mr. Carriker held without bail, CNN reported. Ms. Williams said that “public safety is clearly an issue here” and that no conditions would guarantee that Mr. Carriker would appear for future hearings.
