Filthadelphia is currently seeing a record wave of gun arrests, but the
people charged are less likely to be convicted by the Soros funded DA, Larry
Krasner. Why? Too many blacks and browns are being arrested for crimes...

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police are trying to figure out who shot
and killed a man while he was working on a video about the city's gun
violence.
It happened around 8 p.m. Monday on the 1900 block of West Page Street in
Strawberry Mansion.
"This 55-year-old male was working for a production company. They were
inside of a private residence. They were interviewing and filming some
family members whose children were victims of gun violence in the last two
to three years," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said.
The victim has been identified as Anthony Merriett from the 2100 block of N.
Marston St.
Action News is told the anti-violence video was being made to stream on
Netflix.
Merriett had exited the home to get more equipment from his van when he was
shot multiple times, authorities said.
He was taken to the hospital by police where he was pronounced dead.
The bag with the production equipment was found on the sidewalk along with
two cellphones, police said.
A motive is under investigation.
"We don't know if it was robbery, if his wallet and money were taken," Small
said.
This marked Philadelphia's 119th homicide of the year.
The Philadelphia City Council will hold a special committee Tuesday on gun
violence prevention. The council wants to look at the city's strategic plan
to address gun violence and how to keep children safe.
