Earlier yesterday, Philadelphia's Feltonville neighborhood was the site of a shooting incident that left one man dead and four others injured. According to NBC Philadelphia, police were summoned to the intersection of D Street and Wyoming Avenue around 5:26 a.m., where they discovered five Hispanic men, ages 23 to 45, suffering from gunshot wounds. The youngest of the victims, a 23-year-old man, was transported to Temple University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Details about the circumstances leading to the violence remain scant, but officers found the majority of shell casings inside a nearby bar, suggesting that the altercation began indoors, as indicated by CBS News Philadelphia.
