PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Police are searching for two more suspects wanted in connection with a birthday party shooting over the weekend that killed two men and injured a woman and child in Nicetown.

It happened on the 1900 block of West Hunting Park Avenue around 8:30 p.m. Saturday.  Detectives say an argument broke out during the outdoor party and someone opened fire, killing a 26-year-old man and wounding a woman in the arm.


After hearing the gunshots, police say 20-year-old Lonzell McDaniel came out of a house and fired down the street. That's how the second man was killed and the 7-year-old was grazed in the head.

McDaniel is charged with murder. Police are now looking for 25-year-old Lawrence Coleman and 29-year-old Virgil Williams.

Coleman is described as about 5-foot-9 with black hair and brown eyes — Williams, about 6-foot-4 with black hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information on their whereabouts is asked to call 911.
