Nino DaSilvio: Philadelphia Mass Shooting Arrest: Suspect in 7 Elements Incident Surrenders to Authorities
Philadelphia, PA – A major development has emerged in the investigation into the Philadelphia mass shooting that took place over the July 4th weekend. Police have confirmed the arrest of Nino DaSilvio, 22, a Pennsylvania resident, in connection with the violent incident at the 7 Elements restaurant, bar, and lounge in South Philadelphia.
According to a spokesperson from the Philadelphia Police Department, DaSilvio surrendered to U.S. Marshals and now faces multiple charges, including aggravated assault and violations of the Uniform Firearms Act.
The shooting occurred at approximately 3:53 a.m. on July 5, 2025, at 7 Elements, located on the 1100 block of Washington Avenue. Authorities reported that an argument escalated into a physical altercation involving knives. When security guards tried to intervene, the situation intensified, leading at least one individual to draw a firearm and open fire. Police say one of the security guards also fired a weapon during the chaos.
In total, eight people were shot, including a member of the venue’s security team. Thankfully, all victims were listed in stable condition and are expected to recover.
This is the second arrest in the case. Earlier this month, Philadelphia police arrested Michael Welton, a 43-year-old security guard working at 7 Elements during the shooting. He was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, possession of an instrument of crime, and reckless endangerment.
Investigators are continuing to examine what led to the altercation and how firearms were used during the incident. The arrest of DaSilvio marks a significant step forward in holding those responsible accountable.
The Philadelphia mass shooting arrest underscores the growing concern over violence at nightlife venues and the need for increased safety measures. Authorities urge anyone with additional information about the shooting to contact the Philadelphia Police Department.
