Two men have been arrested and charged in the death of a 7-year-old boy on SEPTA's Broad Street Line last September. The boy's father, 37-year-old Troy Devlin of Philadelphia, is charged with manslaughter, endangering the welfare of children, corruption of minors, and reckless endangerment of another person. Their family friend, 26-year-old Jahras Edwards, is charged with murder, conspiracy, endangering the welfare of children, corruption of minors and recklessly endangering another person. On September 23, 2018, 7-year-old Aden Devlin was riding on the subway with his 11-year-old brother and Edwards. He was left unsupervised and was selling candy to passengers, something that he was forced to do. While Aden was moving between subway cars near the Allegheny Station, he slipped, fell, and was run over. "(Aden) should not have been put to work for the benefit of adults entrusted with his welfare, and he should not have been put to work on a moving subway car without adult supervision, let alone moving between cars while the subway was in motion," said District Attorney Larry Krasner's office.

Philadelphia Police are searching for a missing teenage girl who may be in danger. 14-year-old Amiyah Freeman was reported missing on August 10th by her family members. They say that she ran away from home. On August 24th, family told police that they received a direct message on Instagram from Amiyah claiming that she was being held against her will. She also sent a photo of a vehicle with license plate that she said was used to transport her. Police tracked down the vehicle and owner. The driver operates a private cab and told authorities that he did give Freeman a ride over the weekend. He picked her up at Broad and Allegheny and dropped her off at a Rita's Water Ice on Hunting Park Avenue and Fox Street. Police searching his car and home, but didn't find anything. They are working on corroborating his story. If you have any information contact police at 215-686-TIPS. See a photo below.

A man is recovering after being shot 5-times in a drive-by shooting in Philadelphia's Logan section late Thursday evening, 8/29.
