A man wanted for the
shooting of a 13-year-old during a fight with another child
last week in Southwest Philadelphia has been arrested, the U.S. Marshals Service Eastern Pennsylvania said on
social media
Wednesday afternoon.
Marshals said 43-year-old Keith Holmes was arrested in a unit on the block of North 63rd Street in the Overbrook section of West Philly after investigators determined he was hiding with a family member.
Holmes was wanted on charges of aggravated assault, violations of the Uniform Firearms Act and other related charges in connection with a shooting on April 10 on the 2000 block of South 57th Street in Kingsessing.
Last week, Philadelphia Police Department Inspector Michael Gormley said Holmes, a family member of the child the 13-year-old was fighting, fled the scene after the incident.
Marshals said the 13-year-old was shot multiple times after a dispute over concrete.
The teen was taken to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and was listed in stable condition.
