Suspects Named In 11-Year-Old's Allentown Shooting: DA

The Lehigh County District Attorney's Office says Renee Brown Jr., 20, and Jahliel Branford, 18, are both wanted on arrest warrants.

According to investigators, Brown and Branford opened fire at a group of people near North Nagle and West Allen streets. The 11-year-old victim, identified by prosecutors as K.B., remains hospitalized and is "receiving care and comfort from doctors, family, friends, and loved ones," said the DA's Office.

"We are confident that K.B. is an innocent victim of this violence," authorities said.

In addition to attempted murder and conspiracy charges, both men are charged with aggravated assault and firearms offenses, prosecutors said.

They are considered armed and dangerous and anyone who spots them should call 911, the DA's Office said.
