Teen pleads guilty in 2022 shooting outside Philadelphia's Roxborough High School
A 17-year-old has pleaded guilty in connection with the 2022 shooting outside Roxborough High School in Philadelphia, the district attorney's office said Wednesday.
Troy Fletcher pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and other charges in connection with the shooting that killed Nicolas Elizalde of Havertown, Pennsylvania, in September 2022. Elizade was 14 years old.
Multiple shooters opened fire after a football scrimmage near the school. Four other football players were injured in the shooting.
Police said at the time a green Ford Explorer drove up and people inside fired at least 70 shots at the victim and then fled the scene.
Fletcher is slated to be sentenced in February.
Zyhied Jones, 19, pleaded guilty earlier this year to third-degree murder, conspiracy, attempted murder and related gun crimes for his role.
Jones was sentenced on Thursday to 30 to 60 years in prison.
Three other defendants are scheduled to face trial in October 2025, the DA's office said.
