A fifth and final suspect in an ambush shooting that killed a 14-year-old boy and wounded several other teens outside a high school after a football scrimmage last year has been captured in Philadelphia, authorities said Monday. Dayron Burney-Thorn, 17, was tracked down to the city’s Germantown section and tried jumping out a fourth-floor apartment window in a bid to escape arrest for the Sept. 27 shooting outside of Roxborough High School, the U.S. Marshals Service said.
One of the shooters chased a 17-year-old victim down the street, striking him with shots to the leg and arm, and tried to fire as he stood over the victim, but the gun either jammed or was out of bullets, police said. Yaaseen Bivins, 21, as well as a 17-year-old, a 16-year-old and a 15-year-old have already been arrested in connection with the shooting.
judge in January ordered Bivins and the three others to stand trial in the shooting. All are charged as adults with murder, aggravated assault, firearms crimes and other counts. Fox News’ Daneille Wallace and the Associated Press contributed to this report.
