Authorities met with West Oak Lane resident Terrance Stockton on the afternoon of April 9, questioning the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania patient about a gunshot wound to his torso. The 22-year-old told them an unknown person had shot him near 25th and Wolf streets, refusing to divulge more details.

Shortly after their interrogation, police located Edward Dollson behind the wheel of a bullet-riddled Ford Taurus near 40th Street and Woodland Avenue. Officials reportedly located a loaded Smith and Wesson in the vehicle, which witnesses in South Philly contend was the means of transportation that Stockton and his alleged 26-year-old accomplice, of South Croskey Street near McKean Street, used to engage in and escape from a shootout with the operator of a blue Chevrolet Suburban.

Law enforcement agents, who are searching for the other automobile involved in the matter, revealed it might bear Delaware tags. They placed Stockton and Dollson in custody, charging the former, who had not posted his $1 million bail as of press time, with conspiracy, firearms violations and possession of an instrument of crime, and the latter, who had not posted his $25,000 bail as of press time, with receiving stolen property. They await an April 28 preliminary hearing.
