Man wanted in connection with shooting at Lonnie Young playground surrenders

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police say the man wanted for a shooting at the Lonnie Young Recreation Center in Philadelphia earlier this month has surrendered.

Anthony T. Smith, 23, was wanted after an 18-year-old man was shot three times in the chest.

The shooting happened just after 5:45 p.m. on April 1 in the 1100 block of East Chelten Avenue at the playground.

The victim was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition.

Officials initially told Action News that they believe there may have been two shooters, possibly shooting at each other.

A weapon was recovered from the scene, along with 11 9mm shell casings.

Police said the investigation is active and ongoing.
