Nasir Brooks turned himself into police on Tuesday for an October shooting that left one dead and another hospitalized.
A man was arrested yesterday in connection with two shootings last year that left one dead and another hospitalized.
Nasir Brooks, 24, turned himself in to the Philadelphia Police Department on Tuesday for the killing of 23-year-old Hasan Mason. Brooks allegedly fatally shot Mason near Broad Street and Packer Avenue in October and shot another 23-year-old that same day in front of the Chickie’s and Pete’s nearby.
Police previously arrested Abou Keita, 22, a month after the shooting, charging him with murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault, and other offenses in relation to the Oct. 9 shooting.
The shooting unfolded just after 6:10 p.m., when police responded to reports near Packer Avenue and Broad Street. What they found on scene was an Audi sedan filled with 15 bullet holes just south of the intersection, police said.
Police found Mason lying on Broad Street just north of the intersection with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The other 23-year-old, who police have not identified, was found in front of the Chickie’s & Pete’s near the sports complex on Packer Avenue, with gunshot wounds to the torso. He was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where he was placed in stable condition.
