PHILADELPHIA - A 23-year-old man is paralyzed after a pickup basketball game turned deadly last month, and now the man responsible is in custody, according to the DA's office.
Fahim Key, 20, is charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault in connection to the shooting at McVeigh Playground Basketball Court on August 9.
Officials say Key initiated an argument during the game, then shot the victim in the back, hip and leg after he walked away.
"Leaving a young man with what are likely lifetime injuries and disabilities," the DA's office said.
