3rd arrest made in deadly Grays Ferry mass shooting that left 3 dead, 9 others hurt

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A third man has been arrested in connection with the deadly Grays Ferry mass shooting.

Jihad Gray, 35, was arrested on Thursday in the 2100 block of South Dorrance Street.

Police say they executed a search warrant, where they recovered two handguns and a rifle.

Gray has been charged with murder, attempted murder, and multiple other offenses.

Three people were killed and nine others were injured just before 1 a.m. on July 7 in the 1500 block of South Etting Street. Shocking video from the shooting shows multiple people pulling out guns and opening fire.

Police say the shooting was a result of "contagious gunfire."

Daquan Brown, 21, and Terrell Frazier, 22, have both also been arrested in connection with the shooting.

They are both also facing several charges, including murder and attempted murder.

Police have previously said that they believe there were at least a dozen shooters after finding 13 separate guns and 140 pieces of ballistic evidence at the scene.

One of those suspects, 24-year-old Christopher Battle, has an active arrest warrant for the homicides, police said earlier this month.

Officials said that there was no argument or opposing party at the events. They believe there was one individual among the group who fired a gun, possibly into the air, which caused at least a dozen other people with firearms to begin firing their guns.

The shooting occurred during a gathering of roughly 100 to 200 people, police said.

The victims who were killed have been identified as 23-year-old Zahir Wylie, 19-year-old Jason Reese, and 24-year-old Azir Harris.

Among the victims who were injured are a 15-year-old girl and two 17-year-old boys.
