Suspect wanted in shooting at South Philadelphia night club that injured 8, police say
Philadelphia police are searching for a suspect in connection with the shooting outside a South Philly night club that injured eight people over the Fourth of July weekend. Police said the suspect has a heavy build with a full beard and tattoos on his arms. According to police, he was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, blue sweatpants and light gray sneakers with a large gold chain and charm. The shooting at 7 Elements restaurant, bar and lounge on 11th Street and Washington Avenue happened on July 5 just before 4 a.m., according to police. Five men and three women, ranging in age from 25 to 43 years old, were wounded in the shooting. They were all placed in stable condition. Last week, Philadelphia police charged 43-year-old Michael Welton, who was working as a security guard at the time of the shooting, with attempted murder, aggravated assault and other offenses. Police said Welton admitted to discharging a firearm in the shooting. Police said the shooting appears to have stemmed from an argument at 7 Elements. Days later, another shooting in South Philadelphia's Grays Ferry neighborhood left three people dead and nine others injured. Police are looking for multiple suspects in that shooting.

7 Major Restaurant Openings Around Philly, June 2025
Welcome to Eater Philly's guide to the notable restaurants, bars, and cafes that opened around the city in June 2025, from the expansion of a local Mexican favorite to a shop selling candy charcuterie boards. If there's an opening in your neighborhood that we've missed, let us know at philly@ . South Philly star El Chingón is ready to show off its highly anticipated Fishtown expansion. The year-round outdoor venue is open as of Wednesday, June 18, and is ready to start slinging the restaurant's sought-after cemitas, tacos cradled in sourdough tortillas, and more. Chef and owner Carlos Aparicio will also unveil a 'jardin de agave' in the new location, which will be his spin on a beer garden, according to the Inquirer . 1431 Frankford Avenue New restaurant Leo debuted at Philly's Kimmel Center at the end of last month. Led by executive chef Chris Cryer, formerly of NYC restaurant Peak at Hudson Yards, the spot highlights 'coastal cuisines,' per the website, and dishes include coriander-cured hiramasa and clam campanelle. 1414 Spruce Street A buzzy, vegan Puerto Rican restaurant is now open in East Kensington. The new spot, Casa Borinqueña, is an offshoot of the San Francisco restaurant of the same name. Don't miss the mofongo cups. 2557 Amber Street There's a new BYOB omakase to try in town. Nakama Japanese Cuisine & Omakase, from Sushi by Bou and Sushi Suite alums Mitsutaka Harada and Haris Yohanes, features a $125, 17-course omakase that unfolds over 80 minutes, the Inquirer reports. Looking for less of a commitment? There's an a la carte menu, too, and the restaurant also does takeout and delivery. 45 North 13th Street Pull back the soda vending machine door to gain access to Newsroom Philly, a trendy new cocktail bar and restaurant in Northern Liberties. The spot is an expansion of a similar bar and restaurant in New York, also called Newsroom, where diners enter through doors modeled after Coke and Snapple fridges installed in a newsstand. 1102 Germantown Avenue Quesadillas, burritos, tortas, and tacos are all on the menu at Tu Rinconcito, a Mexican newcomer in Old City. Owner Eugene Guevara, his daughter Lorena, and wife Ernestina (with her recipes from San Luis Potosí) are behind the venture, the Inquirer reports. 17 North Third Street Not a restaurant per se, but we're still excited about this one. An adorable candy shop called All Aboard Candy opened near Rittenhouse Square in mid-June, PhillyVoice reports. For co-founders Alyssa Bonventure and Emily Grossman, the shop is the culmination of what started as a pandemic project in which the pair sold colorful candy charcuterie boards online. The candy boards, and much more, are now available in the physical location. 233 South 20th Street See More:

Hundreds of foodies flock to South Philadelphia to support Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation
Hundreds of foodies flock to Great Chefs Event in South Philly to support Alex's Lemonade Stand Hundreds of foodies flock to Great Chefs Event in South Philly to support Alex's Lemonade Stand Hundreds of foodies flock to Great Chefs Event in South Philly to support Alex's Lemonade Stand Over 700 food lovers gathered at the Navy Yard on Saturday for a sold-out culinary event with a mission: fighting childhood cancer. The Great Chefs Event, benefiting the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, featured more than 40 top chefs from 16 states and Canada. The annual fundraiser supports pediatric cancer research and resources for families affected by the disease. CBS Philadelphia's Jim Donovan and Wakisha Bailey emceed the event. Chef Cesare Casella, a New York restaurateur originally from Tuscany, Italy, has participated in the event for decades. "I'm still coming because it's a great occasion, it's a great organization, he said. "I am very happy to be part." Jeff Michaud, of Philadelphia's Osteria, is another longtime supporter. "Most of these chefs I've known for 20 years. We've seen each other grow up in the business — we've helped each other in the business," Michaud said. "It's such a small knit community, they're all like brothers and sisters." The event honors the legacy of Alex Scott, who raised millions for cancer research through lemonade stands before passing away in 2004. Last year alone, organizers say the Great Chefs Event raised over $550,000. Funds are raised through ticket sales, merchandise, a raffle and a silent auction. Among the auction donors this year were Kristen Kidd and David Weir. The couple co-owns a Montgomery County photo studio, Lux Summit, and they donated a photo session. "Cancer research is so important," Kidd said. Weir, who receives blood transfusions every three weeks for a rare condition called Diamond-Blackfan anemia, said he once shared a treatment space with Alex Scott. "When I was a child, I actually used to get blood transfusions next to Alex when she was getting her chemotherapy," he said. Other families came to teach their children the value of compassion. "Adults can get this disease, kids can get it and it affects everyone differently," said Elizabeth Thomas, who came with her husband and two young daughters. "That's why, since we are so lucky to be healthy, we should be raising the money to help find a cure."
