1 Man Dead, 3 Kids Injured in Shooting

Police are looking for a black car in connection with the shooting. They say it may be related to an earlier shooting as well.

One man is dead and three children are injured in a shooting in the Fairmount section of the city Sunday night.

Police say the shooting happened at an unsanctioned party on a playground at 33rd and Diamond Streets around 9:30 p.m.

Nyeme Taylor is dead after being shot in the head and three girls ages 6, 10 and 15 are injured. Police believe the man was the intended target.

They also believe that this shooting may be related to a shooting that occurred only a half an hour earlier.

Around 9 p.m. a man and woman were injured in the Strawberry Mansion section of the city when a man approached their vehicle and opened fire, according to police.

Both victims are in stable condition.

Investigators say that the shooter was seen fleeing in a black car. A similar black car was also reported at the playground shooting.

Anyone with information on either incident is urged to call police.
