The other victim, a 31-year-old man, was shot in the leg. He is in stable condition.

Police are searching for a suspect and a motive.

"Witnesses did hear a vehicle speed off right after the gunshot, so we believe the shooter or the shooters may have left in a vehicle westbound on Madison and then possibly southbound on the 3200 block of Jasper Street," said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small.

Investigators are checking several surveillance cameras near the scene for clues.
