A Teen's Celebration of Life Part 1

A South Philadelphia community said goodbye to two teens shot and killed in Grays Ferry last week.

Funeral services were held for 15-year-old Harvey Lewis and 18-year-old Dominique Smith at Yesha Ministries Worship Center Monday morning.

The promising youths were targeted by two teenage suspects near 29th and Morris Streets at about 10 p.m. on April 19.

On Saturday, police arrested Derek Barnes, 19, and Anthony Satchell, 16, in connection with the tragic crime.

Police believe Satchell fired the fatal shots, while Barnes acted as an accomplice to the crimes.

Lewis and Smith were both shot execution-style in the head with a 9 mm handgun. Police revealed that the two teens were not the intended targets of the shooters, however they were slain regardless.

"It was just two evil individuals that chose to take two really nice kids lives," said homicide Captain James Clark. "As they (the suspects) run up on them, they find out they are not the individuals they are having a problem with and even with that information, shoot both of them in the head."

[sweetchannon1]

Babies. These are babies, they didn't even get a chance to live their lives. Don't know why they were killed, but what i do know, is that no one has the right to take a life. God said Thou Shalt Not Kill. Point Blank Period

Two young men gone because someone thought getting even would resolve the problem. The killers are in prison, two fine men dead, and for the parents a life time of emotional pain and devastation. Very sad indeed. May God be with you.
