PHILADELPHIA – A 16-year-old is facing multiple adult charges after authorities allege he committed murder at a food market in Brewerytown last week. The District Attorney’s Office has charged Jahsir Walke, aged 16, with murder, criminal conspiracy, VUFA 6106 (no license), possession of an instrument of crime, VUFA 6108 (public carry), VUFA 6110 (possession by minor), and recklessly endangering another person.

The incident involving the fatal shooting occurred on the 5400 block of Master Street inside a food market at approximately 1:37 p.m on Monday, January 29.

According to the preliminary investigation, the victim entered the store and brushed past two young men before initiating a physical altercation with a third individual at the rear of the store.

Walke, who was one of the males the victim had brushed past, retrieved a firearm from his waistband and fired two shots, both of which struck the victim.

Subsequently, the victim collapsed onto the floor, while the three men were last seen fleeing from the store and out of the camera’s view.

The victim has been identified as 19-year-old Nafiese McClain. He was transported to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center by the police, where he was pronounced dead at 2:07 p.m.

The investigation into this tragic incident is currently ongoing.
