Authorities in Philadelphia have released fresh video that appears to show the fatal shooting of a young girl who, according to police, was killed over the weekend while walking a dog with another individual.
Teryn Johnson, 17, was shot in the chest by an unidentified shooter on the 5300 block of Harrock Street just before 9 p.m. on Sunday, according to investigators.
Johnson was taken to Temple University Hospital by Philadelphia Police Department responding officers, where she passed away shortly after.
In a video released by the police on Wednesday, the alleged shooter and a getaway car can be seen stalking the victim’s path before opening fire.
According to investigators, the gunman and at least one other person waited on a corner for at least two minutes as the victim and her friend drove by.
The gunman eventually exits the vehicle and hides behind a parked van after the victims pass by while wearing dark clothing and a virtually full head covering.
The shooter is picked up by Challenger and driven a short distance down the street where he gets out and fires at least three times, according to the multi-angle compilation of security footage.
“It certainly appears that our decedent was specifically targeted,” Captain Jason Smith from the Philadelphia Police Department told reporters at a Monday press conference.
Neighbors who rushed to the aid of Teryn said she was hit at least seven times in her chest and side.
“It’s not right, they took my daughter from me, ain’t no parent supposed to outlive their child,” Paul Johnson, Teryn’s father,
