PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police have arrested one of the suspects allegedly involved in a shooting that injured seven people earlier this week.

Officers were able to track down the vehicle used in the shooting on the 6300 block of Magnolia Street in East Mt. Airy on Thursday morning. It was described as a 2004 to 2008 charcoal gray Acura TSX. Around 10 a.m., undercover officers spotted one of the suspects trying to enter the vehicle and took him in for questioning.
Police identified the suspect as 23-year-old Tyheed Harvey on Friday night. He is now facing charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy, and related offenses.
"This senseless blatant disregard for life has no place in our city," said Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel. "The swift response and diligent work of our officers and Shooting Investigations Group Detectives have led to a significant arrest with more to come.
Officers are still searching for two other suspects in connection with the incident.
The shooting reportedly stemmed from an argument between juveniles and that led to parents getting involved, police said.
Once on scene, officers found two women who were shot in the leg.
Police say a 16-year-old girl, who suffered graze wounds to the abdomen and a leg, was taken to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children.
The four other people who were shot - two men and two women - showed up at the hospital with gunshot wounds.
Sources told Action News that officers have been monitoring several other homes that may have ties to the other suspects involved.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call police at 215-686-TIPS.
