PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphia police arrested a man in connection with a shooting investigation that left seven people injured in the city's Strawberry Mansion section Wednesday evening.
Police announced Friday night that 23-year-old Tyheed Harvey of East Germantown was arrested and charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy and other related offenses.
According to a news release, police first located the car involved in the shooting — a 2004-2008 Acura TSX — on Friday and began to surveil the vehicle. They connected Harvey to the car after they caught him getting into the car on Friday.
