PHILADELPHIA — Four young men accused of opening fire outside Roxborough High School last year, killing a 14-year-old and wounding four other teens, should stand trial for murder, aggravated assault, and related crimes, a judge ruled Tuesday.
Troy Fletcher, 15; Saleem Miller, 16; Zyhied Jones, 17; and Yaaseen Bivins, 21, were arrested last fall after police said they ambushed a group of young football players, firing more than 60 shots as the youths walked toward the locker room after a junior varsity scrimmage Sept. 27.
Nicolas Elizalde, a freshman at Saul High School and new addition to the team, was fatally struck in the chest by a stray bullet. Four other teens, ages 14 to 17, were injured. One boy was shot nine times but survived.
