The Philadelphia Police Department has announced the arrest of a suspect in connection with a fatal double shooting that occurred last year in the city’s 25th District.
On Monday, May 18, 2026, 25th District officers apprehended 21-year-old Luis Antonio Bonet. Investigators with the Homicide Unit had previously identified Bonet as the suspect in the March 2025 incident. He is currently being held at the Homicide Unit, where formal charges against him are pending.
The arrest stems from an incident on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, at approximately 5:32 p.m., when officers responded to a report of a person with a gun on the 100 block of W. Indiana Avenue. Upon arriving at the scene, officers discovered two victims on the highway suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
The first victim, identified as 55-year-old Carlos Diaz-Rodriguez of the 500 block of W. Westmoreland Street, was found unconscious with multiple gunshot wounds throughout his body. Officers immediately transported him to Temple University Hospital. Initially listed in critical condition, Diaz-Rodriguez later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased at 8:00 p.m.
The second victim, a 54-year-old female, sustained multiple gunshot wounds to her legs. She was also transported to Temple University Hospital by 25th District officers, where she was treated and placed in stable condition.
