Police in Philadelphia have released images of the four suspects sought in the killing of a 15-year-old boy who was walking to school on Monday morning.

Devin Weedon was fatally shot in his chest after four unknown Black males approached him during an apparent robbery attempt as the teen was on his way to Simon Gratz High School, the Philadelphia Police Department said.

On Thursday, investigators released surveillance video excerpts showing the four suspects walking along a sidewalk as they surround a blurred individual and later fleeing the scene.

Police said an altercation ensued between Weedon and the four males before the shooting. Weedon, a sophomore, later died from his injuries.
