Police say an alleged teenage gunman has surrendered in connection with the murder of James Stuhlman, who was shot and killed while walking his dog in Philadelphia’s Overbrook section last week.
15-year-old Tyfine Hamilton turned himself in early Friday morning. Already in custody is Brandon Smith, also 15, and a third boy who remains unnamed.
Both Hamilton and Smith are charged with murder, robbery and related charges.
The third boy, who is 14-years-old, is facing lesser charges and will be tried as a juvenile.
It was just before 8:30 p.m. last Thursday when 51-year-old James Stuhlman was walking his dog on the 6400 block of Woodcrest Avenue.
That’s when police say he was approached by three juveniles attempting a robbery. Police say Stuhlman pleaded for his life, saying, “Please don’t shoot me. Please don’t shoot me.” But he was still shot once in the chest.
