The Philadelphia District Attorney's Office said five more people are facing charges in connection with a shooting during a Ramadan celebration in West Philadelphia last year.

The new charges come about 10 months after three people were shot during the event outside of the Philadelphia Masjid in the city's Parkside neighborhood, where police said about 1,000 people were celebrating Eid al-Fitr. 

District Attorney Larry Krasner said Monday that the new charges, which bring the total number of arrests in the case to 10, stem from an investigation into one of the firearms used in the shooting.

The district attorney's office said two of the five suspects are juveniles. The remaining suspects were 18-year-old Chase Freas, 21-year-old Shane Scott and 26-year-old Nicholas Luciani.

According to the district attorney's office, both Freas and Scott are charged with the sale or transfer of firearms, conspiracy, and related offenses. Luciani is charged with prohibited offensive weapon. 

Assistant DA Marianne Aguilar said officials determined one of the guns used in the April 10 shooting was privately manufactured, and an investigation led police and officials to an illegal gun manufacturing ring being run out of a Delaware County basement.

"These charges should send a message to anyone who is contemplating trafficking firearms or who is currently engaged in such activity: Not only will this office investigate and track down shooters involved in creating this kind of mayhem, but we will also come after those who enable such dangerous behavior," said Krasner.   

Back in 2024, police said two teenagers and a 22-year-old man were shot after gunfire broke out between two groups. An armed 15-year-old, who was also arrested in the case, was shot in the arm by responding officers.

Another 15-year-old was shot in the finger and a 22-year-old was shot in the stomach.

A 15-year-old girl also fractured her leg after she was hit by a police car responding to the scene, police said.

Five people were initially charged about two weeks after the shooting, including 21-year-old Kahbir Oglesby-Hicks.

Four teenagers were charged as adults in the case. At the time, Assistant District Attorney William Fritze said two 15-year-old boys, including the one who was shot by police, a 16-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy would be charged with aggravated assault, conspiracy, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person.

This year, Ramadan begins on the evening of Friday, Feb. 28, and ends on Sunday, March 30.
