Temple Police responded to the robbery of a student around 11:10 p.m. yesterday at the student’s residence near the corner of 11th Street and Susquehanna Avenue, Executive Director of Campus Safety Services Charlie Leone said in an email.

The student told Temple Police that a 20- to 25-year-old man who was wearing a black hoodie and dark pants pointed a gun at him and demanded his cell phone, which he surrendered before running home.

Leone said the student could not recall exactly when or where the robbery occurred and was drinking a beer when an officer came to his house to take the report. The robbery is believed to have occurred in the 2100 block of North 12th Street around 10:40 p.m.

A TU Alert was sent out about the incident around 11:50 p.m. which said the incident occurred at 11:15 p.m. and urged anyone with information to call 911.

The victim did not want to prosecute and declined to report the incident to Philadelphia police, Leone said.

Police are looking for a suspect in connection with a shooting and an attempted robbery which occurred off campus around 1 a.m. Saturday in the 1500 block of North 17th Street.

According to multiple news outlets including The Inquirer and NBC 10, a suspect – described in a subsequent TU Alert and other reports as a male about 35-40 years old wearing a red hooded sweatshirt, red beanie cap and blue jeans – tried to enter a party being held on the block. 

When the suspect was denied entry since he was not a student, the outlets’ websites reported that he pulled a handgun on the victim, a 22-year-old male student. The suspect allegedly fired a round into the student’s hip when he charged at him.

The student was rushed to Hahnemann University Hospital and has since been released, according to The Inquirer.

An investigation is ongoing.

Temple and Philadelphia police are looking for two suspects for two attempted robberies which happened around 4 p.m Wednesday, one on the 1400 block of Diamond Street and the other on the 1500 block of Broad Street.

Witnesses on the 1400 block of Diamond Street said a suspect – described as a female about 18 years old and 5 feet 3 inches tall – struggled for a bag with a female around 20-24 years old before the suspect sliced her with a utility box cutter, injuring the victim’s arm and forehead.

Police said another suspect drove a vehicle but did not leave it, and no description was offered. The alleged victim is not affiliated with Temple.

More people who were at the scene of the Diamond Street incident said they arrived after hearing a scream. Witnesses stopped and crowded around the alleged victim, using towels and compression to prevent her bleeding as she sat on the front steps of a building.

Charlie Leone, executive director of Campus Safety Services, said in an email that the two suspects drove a 2005 white Buick LaCrosse with a sunroof. Prior to the first attempted robbery they arrived at 7-Eleven at Broad and Diamond streets and went inside for a short time, then traveled west on Diamond Street to the site of the first incident, he said.

Leone said the suspects returned to their vehicle after the first robbery attempt and drove south on 15th Street from Diamond Street.

A police officer arrived at the site of the Diamond Street incident by 3:55 p.m. and an ambulance arrived by 4:02 p.m. The victim was taken to Hahnemann University Hospital, but was not seriously injured.

Two TU Alerts were sent out, the first at about 4:50 p.m. describing the Diamond Street robbery attempt and noting two suspects and the description of the vehicle. The second, sent around 6 p.m., noted the Broad Street robbery and had the same description of the two suspects.

Leone said Temple Police officers had stopped one car fitting the description in the alert, but it was not the suspects.

Temple and Philadelphia police are reviewing security footage, as well as footage from 7-Eleven, Leone said. Anyone with information is encouraged to call 911.

UPDATE: Estes’ sentencing was rescheduled to Jan. 14, according to court documents.

Zaria Estes, the 15-year-old girl responsible for attacking a Temple student with a brick in March, pled guilty to aggravated assault, conspiracy and possession of an instrument of crime on Tuesday morning, as was first reported by the Philadelphia Daily News.

The state is dropping three additional charges: making terroristic threats, simple assault, and reckless endangerment of another person.

According to Estes’ court docket, bail was set at $100,000 on April 18. She faces a maximum sentence of 10 to 20 years in prison for the lead charge of aggravated assault.

Estes was part of a group of girls who attacked four Temple students during a half-hour span on March 21. The brick incident happened in the 1700 block of Norris Street, and the victim needed oral surgery and suffered a mild concussion.

Two other girls involved were initially charged as adults, but the adult charges were later dropped after court proceedings.
