Neighborhoods across Philadelphia are left grieving and stunned after Saturday night's shooting on South Street killed three and wounded eleven others. Here's what we know about the victims so far.

"He would be very happy when he would walk in the door," Medley said."Just light up and be so excited to be here and then just walk around, shake hands, hugs with everybody. He had a lot of friends here. A lot of his family would come here and skate as well."

An assistant district attorney, Joanne Pescatore, said on Monday that Jackson, one of the three people killed, was involved in the initial fight that led to bullets flying chaotically on South Street. Townes has not been charged. Both he and Jackson had licenses to carry firearms, Pescatore said. She did not provide any more details about Townes, Jackson or Garner.One of the gunshot survivors was 69-year-old Rusty Crowell. The South Philly resident told NBC10 he was at the bar Dobbs on South to see a friend perform when he stepped outside shortly before midnight and heard the gunshots.

Crowell told NBC10 he was lucky to be alive and grateful for the support he's received from his community.
