Blacked out

28043647

A 29-year-old thought he was going over to girlfriend Renada Williams’ house for sex, but when he met her in the Northeast around 10 p.m. March 14, she had other plans for him as well.

During intercourse between the man and Williams, 28, at Williams’ home on the 1400 block of Church Street, two men — Shawn Aiken, 20, of the 1800 block of E. Moyamensing Ave. and his 16-year-old brother, Harold, of the 2100 block of Granite St. in the Northeast — entered the home.

Williams allegedly called the younger of the two, who is believed to be having a baby with Williams’ roommate, and told him that the 29-year-old had raped her, Detective Erica Ortiz, of Northeast Detective Division said. Williams allegedly told police later that she had not been raped, but was mad that the man might return to his “main girlfriend,” Ortiz said.

The man was allegedly beaten by both brothers who struck him in the face and body with wooden boards, electrical cords, broom sticks and toys including a Barbie convertible, Ortiz said. The men also used Pine-Sol to lubricate a mop handle before violating him with it and pouring the cleaning liquid on his open wounds, police said.

The victim blacked out within one or two hours of the beating, and woke up alone in the house almost 23 hours after it initiated, Ortiz said. Although Ortiz was unsure how long the assault went on, police found some items that were bloody and that Williams had allegedly told police he was struck with that the man did not recount.

He was transported to Aria Health’s Frankford Campus around 8:40 p.m. March 15. His injuries included a broken nose and eye sockets, swollen shut eyes, numerous missing teeth, two broken ribs and numerous lacerations across his body, Ortiz said.

As of Sunday, when Ortiz last spoke to him, the victim was still in the hospital and expected to be there until today or tomorrow, Ortiz said.

Ortiz arrested Williams and the younger brother at William’s Northeast residence while the older Aiken, who is currently on probation for firearm violations from 2008, turned himself in at Northeast Detectives at 6 p.m. March 17.

The three were charged with sexual assault, indecent assault, criminal conspiracy, aggravated assault, simple assault, possession of an instrument of crime and related offenses.

Fifth flash

Another flash mob formed on South Street Saturday night — the fifth in the city within the last 10 months.

An unknown parent called the Police Department’s South Street Mini Station, 917 South St., that evening to report a large group of teens and young adults would be meeting on the street, according to the Police Public Affairs Unit. Police officers and special units were dispersed to assist with the larger crowds, but would not speculate how many teens were present.

Around 11 p.m. a 27-year-old woman told police that a large group of young men and women filled the 1500 block of South Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.

The woman reported that some of the young people kicked and punched her in the head and face as they passed her knocking out teeth and causing bruises, abrasions and a large cut to her upper lip, Tolliver said. She was transported to Hahnemann Hospital for treatment.

No arrests were made in her case, but there were three arrests that night including a 17-year-old for a firearms violation on the 1200 block of South Street, another juvenile for obstructing the highway on the 400 block of South Street and an adult for disorderly conduct on the 500 block of South Street, according to Police Public Affairs Unit.

A flash mob previously formed on South Street on May 30, 2009 when an estimated 30 to 300 teens allegedly assaulted several people, in addition to robbing and carjacking them, and ransacked a convenience store.

Three others formed in Center City — mainly near the Gallery at Market East — Dec. 18, ’09 as well as Feb. 16 and March 3 of this year. Twenty-eight teens were charged with felony rioting between the latter two incidents.

Yesterday morning Mayor Michael Nutter and Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey held a press conference at Headhouse Square, Second and South streets, to respond to the most recent incident.

Nutter may expand curfew and the police department will utilize rapid response teams to react to any future disturbances, officials said.

To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

Ramsey encourages anyone with information or a tip regarding a potential flash mob to call 215-686-TIPS (8477).

Victim unknown

Police responded to shots fired near West Passyunk Sunday, but who the shots were aimed towards remains a mystery.

Police reported to 20th and Jackson streets after receiving a radio call around 5:34 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.

While officers recovered ballistic evidence at the scene and witnesses reported hearing six shots and seeing two armed offenders flee south on the 2200 block of Lambert Street and west on Passyunk, no one saw the intended target, Tolliver said.

The first was described as a black male with red hair and a light complexion, age 17 to 22, 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-10 and wearing a gray hoody and blue jeans. He had a silver handgun.

The second man was described as a black male with a dark complexion, 6 foot, thin and wearing a gray hoody and dark pants.

To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

After party beatings

A crowd gathered at Passyunk Square after a house party early Saturday where four teens assaulted those leaving the get-together.

Police were called to the scene for a person screaming around 1:43 a.m. on the 900 block of Reed Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When officers arrived, those assaulted and witnesses told police a group of teens argued with some of the partygoers as a crowd formed outside.

The dispute turned physical when Ryan Stewart, 19, of the 200 block of Tree Street, allegedly hit people in the crowd with a retractable black baton and Nicholas Corazl, 18, of the 2400 block of South Marshall Street, allegedly struck people with a metal pipe, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Meanwhile, Robert Brady, 18, of the 100 block of Mercy Street, and a 17-year-old from the 2500 block of South Phillip Street are believed to have punched and kicked some of the partygoers.

The suspects fled the scene leaving the weapons behind, but were later stopped blocks away, Tolliver said. Stewart and Corazl were arrested at 10th and Dickinson streets while Brady and the juvenile were arrested on the 900 block of Wilder Street.

A 21-, three 22-, a 23- and a 26-year-old were transported the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania for lacerations from the baton and/or the pipe while a 19-, two 22-, a 25- and a 26-year-old received minor injuries from the punches and kicks, Tolliver said.

The teens were charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, criminal conspiracy, possession of an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering another person.

Derogatory comments

Two men commented on a teen’s sexual orientation before pointing a gun at the his head and demanding his cell phone under the South Street bridge Saturday evening.

Around 7:30 p.m. a 19-year-old was walking across the bridge near the 600 block of South Columbus Boulevard when he passed Byron McLeod, 21, of the 2200 block of South Lloyd Street, and Fahmee Shabazz, 20, of the 2200 block of Titan Street, who allegedly made comments regarding his sexual orientation, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The 19-year-old responded with profanity and the two men stood up from a bench and approached him as he neared the east end of the bridge where McLeod allegedly said, “Let’s got downstairs.” The teen walked down the stairs and the duo followed him until they reached a parking lot where McLeod allegedly pointed a small black semi-automatic gun at the victim’s head and demanded his phone.

After McLeod allegedly snatched his phone, the 19-year-old ran across the boulevard, Tolliver. Shabazz allegedly pursued him until the teen reached a nearby restaurant.

The duo was apprehended by police on the bridge and charged with ethnic intimidation, aggravated assault, harassment, robbery, theft, firearm violations and related charges.
