A 77-year-old rideshare driver was shot and killed as he was picking up a 22-year-old man in Center City in what police believe was a targeted ambush shooting Wednesday morning. Just before 2 a.m., Philadelphia police officers from the 9th District responded to the area of South 18th and Sansom streets, outside the Byblos restaurant and hookah lounge, and found two men who had been shot near a black Chevy Suburban that had crashed, said Police Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore.

A Burlington County man was convicted of murder for strangling his wife to death in 2023, telling responding police officers she had gone to take a nap and never woke up, authorities said. Babu Natarajan, 43, was found guilty of killing his wife, Angammal Babu, 41, in their Medford home in March 2023, the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement. A jury deliberated for three hours before convicting him, prosecutors said. Natarajan is scheduled for sentencing in May.

A Camden County woman’s scheme to kill her former boyfriend, a Philadelphia police officer, along with his teenage daughter came with a $12,000 price tag and an agreement to meet the man she wanted to employ in her murder-for-hire plot in a Gloucester Township Dollar General parking lot, prosecutors said. Jaclyn Diiorio, 26, of Runnemede, found the would-be hitman on the dating app Tinder and soon met him in person at a Wawa.

A 23-year-old man who police say shot an 18-year-old in the chest at an East Germantown recreation center, leaving him in critical condition, turned himself in to police Thursday morning. Anthony T. Smith, 23, surrendered at 12:30 a.m., less than a day after U.S. Marshals announced on X they were joining the search for Smith, police said. Smith shot the teen twice in the chest outside the Lonnie Young Recreation Center on the 1100 block of East Chelten Avenue, police said.
