As Philadelphians took to the streets to take in the warm weather on Monday, gunfire left two people dead and a teenager hospitalized.

The three separate shootings happened within the span of a little over 30 minutes, while the sun was still out, according to authorities.

Teen killed in Rhawnhurst 

Police said 19-year-old Lemmarra Bradshaw died after she was shot in the chest at around 5 p.m. Monday inside an apartment on the 7800 block of Langdon Street in Rhawnhurst.

Assistant District Attorney Bob Wainwright characterized the incident as domestic violence and said the alleged shooter has been taken into custody. Charges are pending, and law enforcement officials have not released his name.

Gang-related shooting in Kensington 

Minutes earlier, at around 4:50 p.m., officers were called to the 3000 block of A Street in Kensington, where they found a man who had been shot in the head, the PPD said. Edwin Figueroa, 19, died a short time later at Temple University Hospital.

Investigators believe Figueroa and another individual came to the area to commit a violent home invasion targeting members of a rival gang, ADA Anthony Voci told reporters at a news conference Thursday.

Voci said a 60-year-old woman was also seriously injured when the altercation spilled outside the house. No arrests have been reported.

Boy, 14, shot in Logan

In Logan, a gunman opened fire just before 4:30 p.m. on the 5000 block of N. 10th Street, striking a 14-year-old boy, police said. He was taken to Einstein Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, according to law enforcement. No suspect was immediately apprehended. 

The teen is the second child of his age to be wounded in a shooting in as many days. A 14-year-old boy was in critical condition after being shot Sunday night in Mayfair.

DA addresses spike in gun violence 

Anyone with information about any of the incidents is asked to call or text the PPD’s tip line at 215-686-TIPS (8477). 

Gun violence has historically risen alongside the outdoor temperatures, and District Attorney Larry Krasner, during a press briefing Tuesday, warned people against settling scores in the streets.

In spite of the recent incidents, Philadelphia has seen half as many murder and shooting victims compared to the same date last year — when the city experienced its lowest rate of gun violence in decades.

“It is going in the right direction, perhaps, in part, due to the fact that we had a lot of cold weather,” Krasner said. “Let’s be straight up about this. It’s probably a factor.”
