A 16-year-old suspect wanted for two murders, including the shooting outside Roxborough High School that killed a 14-year-old and injured four others, was arrested after more than a year on the run. U.S. Marshals tracked him to an apartment building in Germantown, where he attempted to escape by jumping from a fourth-story window. He was injured but conscious and will be charged with homicide and related crimes. The arrest marks the capture of the fifth and final suspect involved in the high-profile shooting, while a sixth person, the getaway driver, remains unidentified. The shooting, which devastated the community, prompted widespread condemnation of gun violence and raised concerns about the safety of children in Philadelphia.
