People who were inside the mall told NBC10 they heard what sounded like 20 gunshots. The bullets were coming our way, Jamie Yeimnieletona, a witness, told NBC10.
Dominic Billa, 21, was shot multiple times in the chest and died from his injuries. Billa was the stepson of a county detective assigned to the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Homicide/Non-Fatal Shooting Unit. I extend my deepest condolences to our Detective, and to the loved ones of Mr. Billa, District Attorney Larry Krasner said. We are outraged over the violence that claimed the life of this young man. Shopping malls, basketball courts, supermarkets, and all spaces in our communities should be free of the threat of gun violence.
