PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Philadelphia police have identified a suspect wanted in connection with a triple shooting that occurred on a SEPTA bus in Cobbs Creek last week.

The video in the player above is from a previous report.

Authorities say they are searching for 18-year-old Raphael Ezeamaka of Darby, Pennsylvania.

Last week, investigators released surveillance images of Ezeamaka that showed the clothing he was wearing during the incident.

The shooting occurred on Oct. 8 around 4:30 p.m. in the 700 block of S. 57th Street.

According to Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small, it started when three young men boarded the bus at 19th Street and Oregon Avenue without paying.

At 57th and Catherine Streets, the suspects got out and, according to police, one of them fired four shots into the passenger side of the bus.

“Everyone just started screaming, ‘Stop the bus, stop the bus!’ And obviously he didn’t stop the bus because the shooters were right there,” one passenger recalled.

“I thought I was going to die for a second, so it’s just weird,” she added.

There were more than 50 people on the bus when the shots rang out, including the child of a shooting victim, Small said.

According to police, a 29-year-old was shot in the buttocks, a 56-year-old was shot in the back and a 60-year-old suffered a graze wound to the side of her head.

All three were in stable condition.

Authorities are now searching for Ezeamaka, who is considered armed and dangerous. He is reportedly known to frequent the Southwest, West, and South Philadelphia areas.

Ezeamaka is wanted for aggravated assault, VUFA and other related offenses.

Anyone with information about Ezeamaka is asked to call Philadelphia police at 215-686-TIPS (8477).
