A man died Friday night in the Tacony neighborhood in Northeast Philadelphia after an argument, police say.

A 38-year-old man was pronounced dead before 9 p.m. after being taken to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital by police. They say the 15th District officers responded to a call for a "person with a gun and a shooting" near 7100 Jackson Street.

Officers found the 38-year-old with many gunshot wounds around the stomach when arriving at the scene.

Police say the initial investigation showed there was an argument between the 38-year-old's daughter and another person. During the argument, they say the other person made threats toward everyone before leaving.

The initial investigation further revealed the suspect went back to the place and fired three shots into the 38-year-old's stomach and left in an SUV, according to police.

Officials say the suspect was last seen going southbound on Roosevelt Boulevard.
