A man was killed while another is in critical condition after a shooting in South Philadelphia Wednesday night.
A 35-year-old man and a 57-year-old man were on the 600 block of Winton Street around 7:51 p.m. when an unidentified gunman opened fire.
The 35-year-old was struck in the head while the 57-year-old was struck in the stomach. The 35-year-old victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The 57-year-old was taken to Jefferson University Hospital where he is currently in critical condition.
Police told NBC10 the 57-year-old man is an off-duty SEPTA driver who was in the area visiting his mother. The victim checks on his mother on a daily basis, according to investigators. Based on that information, police believe he was an innocent bystander.
After the shooting, the suspect, described as a man standing 6-feet-tall and wearing a dark brown jacket, was spotted running west on Snyder Avenue from 7th Street, according to investigators.
Investigators found 26 shell casings at the scene of the shooting. They also said two semi-automatic handguns were used.
Police continue to investigate.
