Killing brings toll to 346 for 2005
By CATHERINE LUCEY
Violence struck again yesterday not far from where an 18-year-old single dad was gunned down 11 days ago.
A young man was killed and another critically wounded in separate shootings, just blocks from the site where Terrell Pough, a dad and high-school senior, was slain at Wayne Avenue near Coulter Street in Germantown.
Police said yesterday that the three incidents were not linked.
"There's no connection between the jobs that we're aware of," said Lt. Philip Riehl of the Homicide Division.
Gunshots flew just before 1 p.m. on Wayne Avenue near Dalkeith Street in the Nicetown section, police said.
A young man was found in the street with a wound to the stomach. The unidentified male had been struck down with a shotgun, police said.
He was taken to Temple University Hospital, where he was in critical condition last night.
Shortly after, at 1:54 p.m., police were notified that a body was lying in a weedy area near Roberts and Wissahickon avenues, in Germantown.
A man in his 20s was found there with a gunshot wound to the head.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. He was not identified yesterday.
Police were not sure if he had been shot at that location.
No arrests have been made in the incidents.
Investigations into the shootings continued last night.
