The 37-year-old SEPTA manager was leaving his home in the 100 block of Washington Lane, near McCallum Street, shortly before 1 a.m. when the shooting occurred. Witnesses told police a black sedan was parked outside. Police say the suspect waited for the victim to come out of his home, then got out of the sedan and started shooting. At least 15 shots were fired and the suspect then fled in the sedan, police said. “Witness reports indicate that the rate of fire from the weapon was so rapid that it sounded like a machine gun. This raises our concern that the weapon may have been modified,” said Philadelphia Police Chief Anthony Ginaldi. The victim fell onto his front lawn and was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say family members, including the victim’s brother and sister, arrived at the scene. “You can actually hear one of the family members crying,” Ginaldi said as he spoke to Action News not far from the victim’s home. Detectives are searching through surveillance video to help find the suspect, including security footage of the Ring home. Copyright © 2022 WPVI-TV. All rights reserved.
