The incident occurred back on Dec. 30 at the corner of Germantown Avenue and Collom Street just before midnight.
Police released surveillance video of the incident showing six suspects getting out of a white work-type van and shooting into a crowd of people.
Five male victims and one female victim were all struck by gunfire, and some members of the group returned fire. The suspects got back in the van and fled westbound on Germantown Avenue.
