Philadelphia police are intensifying efforts to locate a vehicle linked to the fatal shooting of a 52-year-old man in the city's North Philadelphia neighborhood earlier in January. According to FOX29, authorities are seeking a 2005-2010 Nissan Quest which they say is connected to the violent incident that occurred on the 2600 block of North 27th Street on January 12. The van of interest bears distinctive damage on its passenger side, and faded paint atop its metal skin.
As reported by NBC Philadelphia, the police are offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest, and conviction in the killing. It was just after the early morning stillness when the unnamed victim was gunned down, his life cut brutally, and tragically short. Descriptions of the Nissan Quest, grey or blue, detail moderate damage along the front passenger side quarter panel.
Adding to the narrative, the vehicle was last observed at the intersection of 31st & York Street around 4:31 a.m., mere minutes after the murder, as stated in a video released by the Philadelphia Police Department.
