"We have bare-bones information. It's possible that the shooter fled in a burgundy colored Chevy Malibu," said Philadelphia Police Captain Lee Strollo over the weekend.

According to investigators, some people in the group dragged the teen into the street.

"It appears they may have been trying to help him, but when we arrived they ran," Strollo added.

Police say no arrests have been made and no weapon was recovered.

It's not clear if Williams was the intended target.
