Charges have been dropped against Zaire Wilson in the deadly shooting of Tyshaun Welles back in January. Quadir Humphrey is charged with murderOn Jan. 11, 2024, Tyshaun Welles, 16, was shot at the Market-Frankford station. Welles later died from his injuries a few days later on Jan. 16.
Zaire Wilson, 16, was arrested by SEPTA Police on Jan. 11, shortly after an alert was issued about the shooting. Quadir Humphrey, 18, was also arrested by SEPTA Police in connection to the shooting. After reviewing SEPTA surveillance video and additional information, investigators determined that Humphrey acted alone in the shooting when he allegedly pulled out a gun and fired into a crowd of mostly young people, striking Welles on the platform of the 15th Street station. Surveillance video, which wasn’t initially available to the DA’s Office, showed that Wilson clearly was not involved in the shooting and murder of Welles, investigators said. The DA’s Office requested a hearing on Feb. 28.
On Feb. 29, the DA’s Office withdrew all charges against Wilson and Judge Joffie Pittman approved an order for Wilson to be immediately released from custody.
