Overview

  • Knife fight at the 7 Elements lounge in South Philadelphia escalated into gunfire by a security guard and two others, wounding eight patrons early on July 5.
  • Philadelphia’s Department of Licenses and Inspections revoked the lounge’s operating license for safety violations, and it remains closed pending review.
  • Just before 1 a.m. Monday in Grays Ferry, at least 100 shots rang out at a street gathering, killing three men and wounding ten people, including two children.
  • Police have detained one individual found with a weapon and the Crime Scene Unit has recovered more than 60 shell casings from the shooting scene.
  • Despite the weekend surge, Philadelphia’s homicide count in 2025 remains below last year’s as officials brace for seasonal crime spikes.
