Woman and Man Killed, Boy and 3 Others Hurt in 4 Philly Shootings

A woman and man were killed while a boy, a woman and two men were injured in four separate shootings in Philadelphia on Monday, according to police.

The first shooting occurred shortly before 5 p.m. A 25-year-old man, identified as Dawson Johnson, was shot twice in the abdomen and once in the face along the 2100 block of North 20th Street, police said. He was taken to Temple University Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 5:18 p.m. 

A gun was recovered from the scene of the shooting. No arrests have been made. 

The second shooting occurred inside a home along the 5500 block of Crowson Street at 6:09 p.m., police said. Kendra Johnson, 25, was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the head inside the living room on the first floor. Four spent shell casings from a semiautomatic weapon were also found in the room near her body, police said.

"So we know four shots were fired from a semiautomatic gun," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said. "All four shell casings are in the living room, just a few inches next to the victim's body. So clearly the shooter was firing shots from very close proximity to the victim."

Johnson, who police said lived inside the home, was pronounced dead by medics at 6:22 p.m. Police said they found no signs of forced entry and the home did not appear to be ransacked.

No arrests have been made and police have not released information on any suspects. They are currently searching through surveillance footage of nearby homes as the investigation continues.

The third shooting occurred at 7:44 p.m. Police said a vehicle was traveling down the 6400 block of Eastwood Street when a gunman opened fire.

A 46-year-old passenger inside the vehicle was shot once in the back of the head. A man who was in the back seat of the vehicle was also struck while the driver, the 46-year-old passenger's wife, was grazed. The woman drove to a nearby gas station where she was met by police. They took her husband to Jefferson-Torresdale Hospital where he is currently in critical condition. The woman is in stable condition while police have not yet revealed the condition of the third victim of the shooting.

Chief Small said they believe the shooting occurred after a car crash though police have not yet confirmed whether or not it was a road rage incident or if any arrests were made.

Finally, a 12-year-old boy was shot once in the left arm and once in the left torso inside a home along the 5100 block of North 8th Street at 8:02 p.m.

Investigators told NBC10 at least eight people, including several children under the age of 10, were inside the home at the time of the shooting, which may have been accidental.

The 12-year-old boy, who was conscious and talking after the shooting, was taken to the Einstein Medical Center where he is in stable condition. The boy doesn't live at the home where the shooting took place but often visits, investigators said. Investigators also said the family members who live at the house would not reveal the location of the gun used in the shooting to police.
