The rifle-wielding suspect who donned a bulletproof vest before allegedly\u00a0shooting dead five men<\/a>\u00a0and injuring two children in Philadelphia has been identified as a Black Lives Matter supporter who shared gun-toting memes on social media.<\/p>\n

Kimbrady Carriker, 40, was nabbed shortly after the bloodshed in the city\u2019s Kingsessing neighborhood\u00a0Monday night, the Philadelphia Inquirer<\/a> reported, citing sources.<\/p>\n

Cops haven\u2019t yet publicly disclosed the suspect\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n

On his Facebook page, Carriker posted two pictures of himself wearing a bra, a women\u2019s top and earrings with his hair braided long in March, three months before the alleged shooting.<\/p>\n

He also regularly posts about supporting Black Lives Matter, including supporting workers who protested in the Strike For Black Lives in July 2020.<\/p>\n

Police said the 40-year-old male suspect was armed with a rifle, pistol, extra magazines, a police scanner and bulletproof vest when he fatally shot four men on the street and then chased and killed a fifth man inside a home.<\/p>\n

A 2-year-old boy was shot four times in the legs, while a 13-year-old\u00a0boy also suffered gunshot wounds to his legs, according to cops.<\/p>\n

The gunman had fired at police as they chased him for several blocks before he eventually surrendered in an alley, Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said.<\/p>\n

Carriker also described himself as a computer engineer, and showed an interest in guns, posting pictures and memes of people with firearms.<\/p>\n

One image featured a person holding a pistol with the caption: \u201cWherefore art thou opposition so I may slide upon thine block and runneth down on thee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another one of his posts showed footage of several kids firing off rounds from a rifle.<\/p>\n

In May 2020, Carriker also posted a video to his Facebook of a burning Philadelphia police car that had been daubed with grafitti including \u201cACAB\u201d \u2014 an acronym for \u201cAll coppers are b\u2014\u2013ds\u201d \u2014 and captioned it: \u201cI was there; where were you? #we matter.\u201d However, It is unclear if he had filmed the video himself.<\/p>\n

The shooter, who was taken into custody without incident, didn\u2019t have any connection to the victims prior to the shooting, Outlaw added.<\/p>\n

Carriker\u2019s old roommate, Tina Rosette, 49, told the Inquirer she was shocked to learn of his involvement in the shooting.<\/p>\n

Rosette\u2019s daughter, Cianni Rosette, 24, who also lived with the alleged shooter, said Carriker had flashed a handgun several times.<\/p>\n

\u201dHe was trying to get me comfortable around guns and stuff like that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The mother and daughter said they lived with Carriker in 2021 but moved out about a year ago.<\/p>\n

The elder Rosette said she believed he\u2019d been in a \u201cdark place\u201d of late but she didn\u2019t know why.<\/p>\n

Carriker had been arrested in 2003 and charged with possession of a weapon without a license, carrying a firearm in public and drug possession, according to Philadelphia court records.<\/p>\n

He eventually pleaded guilty to having a firearm without a license and the other charges were dropped.<\/p>\n

He was placed on three years\u2019 probation and made to pay over $1,000 in costs.<\/p>\n

Carriker had at one point appeared to start his own company, LDS Frameworks, writing software and developing computer games, but it had been inactive since 2019.<\/p>\n

At the scene of Monday night\u2019s shooting, officers said they found dozens of shell casings strewn across eight blocks.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can see there are several scenes out here,\u201d Outlaw said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re canvassing the area to get as much as we can, to identify witnesses, to identify where cameras are located and to do everything to figure out the why,\u201d Outlaw said.<\/p>\n

Cops have since identified the slain victims as Lashyd Merritt, 20, Dymir Stanton, 29, Ralph Moralis, 59, Daujan Brown, 15, and Joseph Wamah Jr., 31.<\/p>\n

We thought there was something suspicious about this story from the way the MSM handled it when it first broke. Usually they are all over mass shooting stories, especially if the gunman is white. However, the coverage of this shooting was different. After initially running with the story MSM outlets suddenly dropped it.
