Christmas Village shooting: Police searching for third teen suspect in Dilworth Plaza triple shooting
Police shared a photo of 16-year-old Raheem Hylton for his alleged involvement in a triple shooting that erupted at Christmas Village.
PHILADELPHIA - Police are searching for a 16-year-old suspect wanted for his alleged involvement in a triple shooting at Christmas Village that left a teen fighting for his life.
The Philadelphia Police Department shared a photo of Raheem Hylton, a "runaway juvenile" who they consider "armed and dangerous."
Hylton is the third suspect in a fight-turned-shooting that erupted near the Rothman Ice Rink in Dilworth Plaza, part of Philadelphia's annual holiday market.
A 15-year-old and two 14-year-olds were injured in the shooting, according to police, including one teen who was shot in the face and is still fighting for his life.

Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore said another 14-year-old suspect was arrested for their alleged involvement in a shooting that erupted in Christmas Village on Friday. The shooting left a 15-year-old "fighting for his life" from a gunshot wound to the eye.
"He is still fighting for his life, he had several surgeries, we believe he lost his eye, he is fighting for his life," Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore said.
A 14-year-old suspect was taken into custody blocks away from the shooting, and a second was arrested days later.
Investigators believe the fight started over a bullying incident involving one of the injured teens' younger siblings.
"It's a lot of violence over an argument that we ultimately know now was over picking on someone's brother," Vanore told reporters Wednesday.
