Philadelphia Mass Shooting Suspect to Stand Trial

After undergoing mental health treatment, the suspect in last summer's Kingsessing mass shooting is deemed fit for trial.

  • Kimbrady Carriker, 41, faces charges including five counts of murder and illegal gun possession following the apparently random shootings in early July.
  • The suspect had been previously deemed mentally incompetent but is now prepared to move forward with the case after receiving treatment.
  • During a preliminary hearing, detectives showcased body-worn camera footage of Carriker walking about a mile during most of the shootings.
  • Investigators are still trying to determine what prompted Carriker to fire on some individuals and not others.
  • Prosecutors revealed Carriker left a will dated June 23 at his home, and he had been seen agitated and wearing a tactical vest before the shootings.
