Overview

• Philadelphia’s Homicide Unit is probing six shootings from July 26–28 that killed two people and wounded at least eight, including a 7-year-old girl and her mother in a Nicetown quadruple shooting.
• Three people were shot and one stabbed after the Bronx Dominican Day Parade, and a Throggs Neck parking lot ambush by masked gunmen fleeing on a moped left two men dead.
• Chicago police say a late-night shooting in Lawndale wounded four teenagers following a verbal dispute, even as the city’s weekend shooting toll remains near decade lows.
• At Atlanta’s Sweet Auburn streetcar stop, a 27-year-old man was killed and ten others were wounded in a mass shooting that yielded 34 shell casings and four suspects still at large.
• Investigations across all affected cities remain active with few arrests and no confirmed motives, underscoring challenges in curbing summer’s surge in public shootings.
