Man charged with murder in North Philadelphia double shooting, police say

A 28-year-old man is charged with murder after a double shooting in North Philadelphia over the weekend, police said Tuesday.

Police said Hudhayfah Trice was arrested Monday and charged with murder and attempted murder in a shooting that left 25-year-old Michael Davila Rivera dead and a 28-year-old man critically wounded.

The police department was called to the 400 block of West Grange Avenue in the city's Olney neighborhood just before 5 a.m., where officers found two men with gunshot wounds.

"When police entered the residence, they went to the second floor of the house and saw two males shot," Capt. Christopher Bradshaw said.

According to police, Davila Rivera was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene. The second victim was shot multiple times in his torso and rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition. The second victim has not been identified.

"It was a very chaotic scene," Bradshaw said.

Police said Saturday they talked to witnesses and believe it may have stemmed from a domestic argument.

Police said a handgun was recovered during Trice's arrest.
