Police have issued an arrest warrant for a man in connection with a triple shooting that left two men dead last month in North Philly.
Authorities announced Tuesday they are looking to bring Ativa Jackson, 19, of the 100 block of Wishart Street, into custody for the incident that occurred Jan. 3.
Officers responded to the report of a shooting on the block where Jackson resides around 5:45 p.m. that day.
Police say they found three victims suffering from gunshot wounds. Two of the victims -- Richard DaVilla, 47, and Raul Rodriguez, 21 -- died from their injuries.
A 17-year-old male was found inside a residence with a gunshot wound to the face and was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
Police describe Jackson as standing 5'9" tall and weighing about 260 pounds with brown eyes and black hair.
He is considered armed and dangerous. Police are offering a $20,000 reward for any information leading to his arrest and conviction.
Anyone with information on Jackson's whereabouts is asked to call the Philadelphia Police Department's Homicide Unit at 215-686-3334 or dial 911.
