The preliminary hearing Nafis Harper was to be held today before District Judge Guy Haberl, but Harper last week waived all charges against him to Common Pleas Court, making a hearing today unnecessary.
Harper is one of four suspects in the robberies of two homes in Indiana Borough in which a man was shot. He’s charged with four counts of robbery, four counts of conspiracy to robbery, three counts of conspiracy to aggravated assault, and single counts of theft and receiving stolen property, along with conspiracy to those same two offenses.
The other suspects, 19-year-old Daron Reel Jr., 20-year-old Samuel Wilson, and 20-year-old Mamadi Saccoh, all face the same charges, with Reel, the alleged shooter, also charged with attempted homicide. All of the defendants are from Philadelphia and all have had their charges upheld and forwarded to Common Pleas Court.
The four men are accused of robbing the residents at two homes, at 835 and 841 Wayne Avenue on February 14th. They reportedly went to the first home by mistake, but still robbed the residents there. At 835 Wayne Avenue, they are accused of beating three residents with the handles of guns and Reel is charged with shooting one of them, with the slug entering the man’s chin, going through his neck, and lodging in his shoulder. The victim survived the shooting.
Investigators said that Wilson and Saccoh confessed and identified Reel and Harper as the other suspects.
