An 18-year-old man died Thursday night after he was shot multiple times on a West Philadelphia sidewalk.
Philadelphia police found him lying on Cambridge Street near North 41st Street with gunshot wounds to his chest and torso, NBC10 Philadelphia reported. Officers had responded to reports of gunfire around 11 p.m. He was taken to a hospital and died shortly after he arrived.
Casings a Few Feet Away
Police found five spent shell casings a few feet from him and said the casings suggested the shots were fired at close range, according to NBC10 Philadelphia.
No arrests had been made, police had not released a description of a suspect or suspects, and the motive was unclear, as reported by NBC10 Philadelphia.
Cameras, and a Number to Call
Investigators hoped surveillance footage would help, and the block has several cameras, as noted by NBC10 Philadelphia.
Anyone with information can contact Philadelphia police or submit an anonymous online tip. The department's tip line is 215-686-TIPS (8477), the Philadelphia Police Department reported.
