A midday shooting in Point Breeze ended with one man dead and an arrest. On Friday, April 29, 2016, 26-year-old Jessie Williams was sitting in his 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee on the 2000 block of Wharton Street when a shootout erupted. Williams was found inside the vehicle, taken to Jefferson Hospital, and pronounced dead at 5:06 p.m.

A passenger in Williams’ Jeep suffered minor head and facial injuries when the vehicle crashed into two parked cars; he was treated at Penn-Presbyterian Medical Center and released. Police located a second scene on the 1200 block of Point Breeze Avenue, where 26-year-old Tysheed Davis had a gunshot wound to his finger. Authorities say Davis shot Williams and that Williams returned fire; two firearms were recovered, one from inside Williams’ vehicle and another from the street. Davis was arrested and charged with murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault, and multiple firearms offenses.
