Police release images of suspects in murder of 15-year-old Sean Toomey
Police have released photos of two suspects wanted in connection with the murder of Sean Toomey. The 15-year-old victim was retrieving a case water from his family's car when he was shot and killed in front of his Philadelphia home.
PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia police have released new images of multiple suspects who are wanted in connection with the death of a teenage boy who was shot and killed while walking to his family’s car outside of his home last month.
Sean Toomey, 15, was shot in the head outside his family’s home in Wissinoming back on March 24. He later died from his injuries at the hospital.
Investigators originally said that Toomey was hit by stray gunfire, but law enforcement sources told FOX 29's Kelly Rule that they believe he was shot while running from an attempted carjacking.
Sources said Toomey was unloading water from his father's car when two men approached him and tried to steal the car. Sources also say investigators believed that the same two suspects attempted to carjack a woman as she attempted to park in the apartment complex across the street.
Two suspects are wanted in connection with the murder of Sean Toomey. The 15-year-old was shot and killed outside of his home last month.

Anyone with information about the incident or suspects is asked to contact police.
