Suspect sought in Philadelphia street fight turned deadly shooting

PHILADELPHIA – A street fight last month in Philadelphia turned deadly when investigators say a 40-year-old man was shot and killed.

Police shared surveillance video of the deadly confrontation on Monday in hopes of identifying the suspected shooter.

The backstory:

Officers from the Philadelphia Police Department were called to the 6700 block of Upland Street for reports of a shooting.

Police found the 40-year-old man in the front seat of his vehicle suffering from a single gunshot wound in the abdomen. 

Officers rushed the man to Penn Presbyterian Hospital where he was placed in critical condition and later died.

What we know:

Newly shared surveillance camera video of the deadly shooting shows the victim’s car rolling to a stop on Upland Street.
