PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Police made an impassioned plea for help Friday afternoon in finding the person responsible for the death of a beloved grandmother who was gunned down in her Southwest Philly home.

Detectives say someone broke into her home along Broomall Street through a basement window. They don't believe any items were taken.

If you have any information about this shooting that could help detectives, you're urged to call Philadelphia police.
