  • Public Safety

Police have released photos of the two suspects in the Grays Ferry mass shooting, a tragedy where gunmen fired over 100 rounds into a crowded block party.


The shooting — which led to three casualties and nine injuries — occurred on July 7 at around 1 a.m. on South Etting Street. 


Three young men were murdered during the attack: 24-year-old Azir Harris, 23-year-old Zahir Wylie, and 19-year-old Jason Reese. Azir Harris was a father and advocate for gun violence survivors after he survived a 2018 shooting that left him paralyzed. 


Nine additional victims survived the attack with injuries, all between the ages of 15 to 24 years old. 


Police said they believe the perpetrators targeted the crowd randomly, indiscriminately firing bullets into the residential properties and vehicles. 


On Tuesday, police released photos of potential suspects. A $20,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest.


Anyone with information related to this case is urged to contact the Homicide Unit at 215-686-3334 or submit an anonymous tip by calling 215-686-TIPS; all tips will be confidential.
