A star Philadelphia high school football player is facing murder charges for his role in the shooting death of a 15-year-old girl, who was hit by a stray bullet outside of Albert Einstein Medical Center Monday.
Police arrested 15-year-old Quadir Gibson, of the 5900 block of Horrocks Street, for allegedly summoning the accused shooter to the hospital, where a group of teens were fighting.
Gibson directed the gunman, 19-year-old Darian Person, to shoot multiple people, according to investigators.
Person opened fire, killing 15-year-old Aisha Abdur-Rhaman, a Delaware Valley Charter School student, and wounding a 19-year-old man, according to officials.
The bullet traveled at least a half a block, striking Abdur-Rhaman as she walked home with a friend, police said.
Person, who faces murder charges, turned himself in to police Tuesday night.
Gibson is facing multiple charges, including murder, attempted murder and criminal conspiracy.
The teen was a running back at Father Judge High School in the Mayfair section of the city. Daily News high school sports reporter Ted Silary ranked Gibson as a top five college prospect.
Archdiocesan spokesman Ken Gavin said the school would cooperate with authorities and that the community is praying for Abdur-Rhaman.
The deadly shooting occurred after a conflict among Delaware Valley Charter School students and "people from their neighborhood" escalated into a fight, said Philadelphia Police Captain James Clark.
"It became a war over Twitter and Instagram," Clark said. "A lot of threats were made and ultimately they arranged to set up this fight at Broad and Olney, which led to the shooting."
Authorities continue to investigate.
