A man has been charged in connection with a shooting that left three people with serious injuries, including a trans woman who was pistol-whipped.
Joel Martinez, 22, was arrested in connection with the incident that occurred back on June 12, 2022, near Rosehill and East Westmoreland streets.
Police say the victims were leaving the nightclub when they encountered another group of people, including Martinez. At that time, Martinez allegedly uttered a derogatory word at one of the victims and an argument ensued. During a Thursday morning press conference, Philadelphia Police Captain James Kearney commended the victims and community for coming forward to assist in identifying the suspect.
