A Southwest Philadelphia man, accused of shooting an 80-year-old man during a home invasion last month, has been charged with murder following the death of his elderly victim, police said.
Sean Johnson, of the 2100 block of S. 67th Street, and an accomplice forced their way into Joseph Fleming's house on the 6600 block of Yocum Street on May 17, police said. During the break-in, Johnson allegedly shot Fleming twice and left him for dead, police said.
Fleming clung to life for more than a month at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, but died of his injuries on June 22.
