Mistaken Identity: Andrew McCutchen wanted for attempted homicide by Lower Merion PD

Lower Merion PD is reportedly looking for a man by the name of Andrew McCutchen for an attempted homicide. The 35-year-old is wanted in connection with a shooting in Ardmore over Memorial Day Weekend, and the report has left Phillies fans scratching their heads at the news.

In case you haven’t guessed, it’s not the Andrew McCutchen you might have been thinking of:

I wasn’t the only one caught off guard by this report. Obviously, it’s not the former Phillie affectionately known as “Uncle Larry,” but that didn’t stop some fans, myself included, from being briefly baffled by the situation.

When I saw it, I didn’t see the photo in the article, so I was initially left thinking something went horribly wrong. The name is down to the same spelling, but the age is what did it for me. I was like, “Damn, Andrew McCutchen is only 35? He’s been around for a while.”

A quick google search set me straight. I was worried he was going to be stuck with some trumped up charges like (free man) Scottie Scheffler.

Regardless of that, there’s still a shooter on the loose. Here’s his description and the vehicle he was last seen in for any that might have any information on this situation.

Investigators say the suspect and another person used a dark grey 2005 Chevy Trailblazer LS getaway car with PA tag MMN-9443. It has a bumper sticker to the right of the plate that says, “Rest awhile, ride for miles,” a tow hitch, Chevrolet branded mud flaps and a roof rack.

McCutchen has teardrop tattoos under his right eye and a dime-sized dark mark under his left eye.
