A day care center is located near the scene of the shooting. Malika Moore told NBC10 she couldn't immediately get to her son because the area was locked down.
"The violence in Philly is very disheartening," Moore said. "It's really sad. It doesn't seem like it's getting any better unfortunately."
The shooting occurred only a few months after another mass shooting occurred in the area in which eight people were injured near the Olney Transportation Center, the second busiest SEPTA stop in the city.
Philadelphia city councilwoman Cindy Bass arrived at the scene of Monday's shooting. She told NBC10 the area is a busy business corridor that needs more resources and protection.
"We're working so hard to try and bring neighborhoods back," she said. "Things like this are just a huge setback. They're just a huge setback over and over again and you know it's frustrating."
As of Monday night, there were 386 reported homicides in Philadelphia, up 16% from the same time last year which was one of the deadliest on record in the city’s history.
City leaders are hoping more funds can help stem the violence. The new city budget allocates nearly $156 million on anti-violence measures, $22 million of which will go toward the Anti-Violence Community Expansion Grant Program. The program is designed to provide funds to organizations working toward reducing violent crime in the city.
District Attorney Larry Krasner announced last month that another $254,000 in grants would be given to ten anti-violence groups in the city. Since May, the city’s violence prevention grant funding has totaled more than $490,000.
