By Wednesday morning, police said the person had been located.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;The incident remains under investigation,&#8221; police said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The stabbing happened around 9:30 p.m. on April 21 on the 200 block of Bridge Street.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">No suspects have been identified at this time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt says he is still very interested in finding two other people seen holding hands on video. They could provide clues in the search for a suspect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Authorities say the pair were walking hand-in-hand on Bridge Street, passing Anne Street, and headed toward Dennison Avenue, at 9:39 p.m. Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;The two witnesses in the images we put out, we still would like to speak with them.

If anyone knows them, please forward the information so we can look into it,&#8221; said Bernhardt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Bernhardt says his department is making good progress in this case, but they have not yet been able to identify the person responsible for the murder of Garr.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"hsDdd NDJZt sJeUN IJwXl vBqtr KrDt itslR zFTjo hakZw HlUVI \" data-testid=\"prism-image\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/13175803_upper-darby-stabbing.PNG\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Action News spoke to Breanna Pierre, who said she just happen to be walking along Bridge Street when Garr was stabbed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;Some kid fall to the ground, a man running, and a man come out of a car to help the kid on the ground, and I&#8217;m like, &#8216;oh my God.&#8217; I was going to go over there and see what happened, but then I saw this blood,&#8221; said Pierre.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Pierre said she was too far away to be able to describe the person responsible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;It&#8217;s terrible,&#8221; said Superintendent Bernhardt. &#8220;How do you get to a point where kids this age can commit some type of act of violence like this? There&#8217;s no words to explain it. Our hearts go out to the family, we ask everyone to keep the family in their thoughts and prayers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Five days after the murder, people are still showing up at the corner where the crime occurred to pay their respects and add to a growing memorial in Garr&#8217;s honor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The owner of nearby Gambol&#8217;s Cafe is doing what he can to help the family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;We&#8217;ve managed to raise a little over $3,000 and counting,&#8221; said Michael Gambol.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The Delaware County Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 27 is offering a $10,000 reward for a tip that leads to an arrest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Garr, of Drexel Hill, was a 10th grader at the Upper Darby School District.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Anyone with information is asked to call Upper Darby police detectives at 484-574-1157.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Michael Garr\" class=\"hsDdd NDJZt sJeUN IJwXl vBqtr KrDt itslR zFTjo hakZw HlUVI \" data-testid=\"prism-image\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/13181661_042423-wpvi-michael-garr-pic-at-memorial-img.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2026 WPVI-TV.
