Philadelphia authorities investigating a Fourth of July holiday shooting spree that left five people dead now say the gunman killed one of the victims almost two full days before the mass shooting.
FILE - This July 29, 2012, photo provided by Terrance Harden shows Joseph Wamah Jr. Philadelphia authorities investigating a 2023 Fourth of July holiday shooting spree that left five people dead now say the gunman killed Wamah Jr. almost two full days before the mass shooting.
While authorities initially believed Carriker killed Joseph Wamah Jr., 31, in a home as part of a quickly orchestrated series of shootings, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said Sunday that an error prevented police from discovering Wamah's body right away. Authorities said Philadelphia Police responded to a 911 call about gunshots about 2 a.m. July 2 on South 56th Street, about 90 minutes after they now believe Wamah was killed. However, police were accidentally dispatched to North 56th Street, so they didn't find Wamah's body right away.
