PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) District Attorney Larry Krasner and his office announced four arrests as the result of an investigation into escalating violence in Southwest and West Philadelphia.
Officials say the four suspects now in custody are responsible for a number of retaliatory shootings from 2018 to 2019.
