Man fatally shot while trying to break into car in North Philadelphia, police say
A man was shot and killed early Monday morning while allegedly breaking into a car in North Philadelphia, police said.
Philadelphia Police Capt. Shaun Butts said officers were called to the area of Warnock Street and Rising Sun Avenue around 1:30 a.m., where they found a man who'd been shot two times, once in the back and once in the head. The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital, where police said he died about half an hour later.
Butts said investigators believe the victim was trying to break into a black Mercedes-Benz that was parked on the corner of the street.
Police said they haven't recovered a gun in connection with the shooting and don't know who fired the fatal shots, but they do believe the victim also fired a shot.
Later Monday morning, police conducted a search warrant at a home in connection with the shooting and took someone into custody for questioning. However, Philadelphia Police said investigators have not confirmed that person's "relationship to the vehicle or the shooting."
