Northeast Philly Male Charged With Attempted Murder In Bensalem
by Alex Lloyd Gross
On January 9, 2026, a male, who lived in the Top of the Ridge Trailer Park on Gibson Road, got into an argument with the driver of a red car. Bensalem police said the argument escalated into a physical confrontation. At that point, a rear-seat passenger pulled out a 9mm pistol, which was later determined to be a ghost gun, and shot the victim in the left arm. Another bullet struck a nearby mobile home, police said.
Police applied life-saving measures and transported the victim to Jefferson Hospital, Torresdale Division, where he was admitted in critical condition. Investigators were able to track the red car using surveillance cameras and license-plate readers, which led officers to an address in Levittown.
There, the vehicle’s owner identified 21-year-old Travis Fleck of Woodenbridge Road in Northeast Philadelphia. When police spoke with Fleck, he admitted to firing two rounds and consented to a search of his home. Officers recovered four firearms, including the 9mm used in the shooting.
The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office approved charges, including attempted homicide, aggravated assault, carrying firearms without a license, and related offenses. An arrest warrant was obtained, and Fleck later turned himself in to Bensalem police. He was arraigned by District Justice Terry Hughes and remanded to the Bucks County Correctional Facility after bail was set at 10 percent of $1,000,000.
