There was a murder reported in the Inquirer over the weekend on Busti Street, right next to the Drexel Athletic Field Complex on 43rd and Powelton Avenue. On Sunday at about 1:30 p.m., housing police were tipped to a shooting at an apartment complex on Busti Street.

Robert McNair, a resident at the building and 48 years old, was found dead in the lobby with multiple gunshot wounds. The two suspects in the case are Brandon Brown, 23, and Kiaeem Smith, 28. Smith has already turned himself into the police.

The city has recorded 101 homicides this year, down from 134 at this point last year (through April 28). The number was much lower until the last few weekends, where each weekend has had multiple murders, including 5 this past weekend.
