as a featured most-wanted fugitive sought by the U.S. Marshals, he knew the gig was up.

So on Wednesday, just two days after his mug shot ran, Jaddy turned himself in to a detective at the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.

Jaddy, 18, aka Gatty, was wanted for a shooting in May in West Oak Lane, authorities with the U.S. Marshals said.

Jaddy, of Abbottsford Avenue near Morris Street in Germantown, allegedly shot someone on Andrews Avenue near 74th on May 26, police said.

Court records show that Jaddy remained jailed at Curran-Fromhold Correctional facility last night on charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy and related offenses for the alleged incident. His bail was set at 10 percent of $150,000, the records stated.

In November 2009, Jaddy was arrested for drugs, the court records also showed. The outcome of that case was unclear.
