A man was killed by a masked gunman, police said, as he sat in his vehicle at a gas station in the Cedarbrook section of Philadelphia’s East Mount Airy neighborhood early Sunday. <\/p>\n
According to Police Inspector D.F. Pace, the incident happened at about 3 a.m. on Sunday at a gas station located along the 2500 block of West Cheltenham Avenue in the Cedarbrook section of the East Mount Airy neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Officers responding to a reported shooting at this gas station, Pace said, discovered a 22-year-old man sitting in the driver’s seat of a black Hyundai Sonata after he had been shot multiple times. <\/p>\n
The man, Pace said, was pronounced at the scene. <\/p>\n
Investigators said that the incident was captured on the gas station’s surveillance cameras, however. <\/p>\n
In that footage, Pace said, a masked gunman, described as having a light colored, full-face mask and waring a dark t-shirt, and light-colored pants, can be seen walking up to the victim’s vehicle before firing multiple times into the car from a distance of about five yards away.<\/p>\n
At the scene, investigators collected at least 10 spent shells, Pace said. <\/p>\n
Also, Pace said, no arrests have yet been made and no motive has been determined in this incident, but he noted that it is early in the investigation. <\/p>\n
An investigation into this incident, Pace said, is ongoing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man was killed by a masked gunman, police said, as he sat in his vehicle at a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35760,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[12643,69,71,70],"class_list":["post-35759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-east-mount-airy","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35759\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
