Mural Arts Philadelphia gearing up for series of May events

Two men charged with shooting a 5-year-old boy and his grandfather at a Philadelphia gas station last summer have pleaded guilty to some offenses in a deal with prosecutors.

Prosecutors say 22-year-old Antwan Grimes, 23-year-old Keon Smith, and two others shot at a car more than five dozen times last June — and struck another car carrying the little boy and his grandfather who were with the boy’s father.

The child was shot in the arm. His 71-year-old grandfather was critically injured and is still recovering.

Grimes and Smith pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and conspiracy - attempted murder and the rest of the more than a dozen charges were dismissed.

Each were sentenced to 7 1/2 to 15 years behind bars.

Two men plead guilty to 2023 shooting of 5-year-old and his grandfather

A man from Camden County, New Jersey, has been sentenced to 40 years in state prison for the murder of his ex-wife, according to the county prosecutor's office.

They say in the summer of 2020, 76-year-old Philip Puche attacked his ex-wife Nancy Kenny as she was getting into her car, while outside her Audubon Park home. Puche is said to have slashed Kenny several times with a sharp object and to have taken her purse, according to investigators. Although Kenny was taken to the hospital for emergency care, she died eight months later, prosecutors say, from those injuries.

Puche was previously convicted of several charges, including first-degree murder. The Camden County Prosecutor's Office says he was sentenced last week and is required to serve 85% of the sentence before eligible for parole.
