Teen charged in fatal shooting outside West Philly rec center

• If convicted for first-degree murder, the teenager would face a sentence of 30 years to life.
• Police recovered a 9mm "ghost gun," a homemade firearm that is unserialized and untraceable, in a trash can on the same block where the teen was arrested, Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said.

The big picture: Homicides are on pace to reach an all-time high for the second year in a row in Philadelphia.

• The city has logged 384 killings through Monday, up 3% over the same time last year.

What they're saying: "Fourteen years old is very young to be charged with a homicide and it's young to be in the adult system," Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said at a press conference.

• "What we want to do is the thing that's going to make Philadelphians safest in the future and bring justice to the family," he said.

What to watch: The investigation into the shooting near the rec center is ongoing.

• Police believe up to three other individuals could have fired shots that afternoon.
