Philadelphia Police say a large group of drivers participating in street racing have been causing chaos in several parts of the city.
Allegrini Jr.'s girlfriend, Reagan Hocking, says she knew something was wrong when the teen didn't return home on Saturday night.
She and Allegrini Jr.'s parents say they drove out to the scene early Sunday morning after the shooting took place.Witnesses told Action News that troopers shot the teen three times, however, police have not confirmed how many shots were fired during the incident."Mainly I'm very hurt, I'm also just angry," added Hocking. "Anger comes from a place of hurt. I just want justice for all of this.
In the aftermath of the chaos, President of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #5 John McNesby condemned the ongoing violence of the city.McNesby pointed to low staffing as the number one problem for Philadelphia police. "Bottom line here, is right now there's not enough officers in the City of Philadelphia. And that's not even an exaggeration, we have the lowest amount we've ever had in the history of Philadelphia," said McNesby.Pennsylvania State Police and the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office are still investigating this case.Copyright © 2023 WPVI-TV.
