Authorities say a young man was shot and killed Wednesday night in West Philadelphia.
According to investigators, the 18-year-old victim was shot once in the shoulder on the 5400 block of Pennsgrove Street just before 9 p.m.
The unnamed victim was driven by private vehicle to Penn Presbyterian Hospital where he died, police said. The vehicle that drove the victim to the hospital was gone by the time authorities arrived, according to investigators. A total of 21 spent shell casings were found at the scene of the shooting, and several unoccupied vehicles were struck. Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small says those casings came from three separate caliber firearms.
The victim lived a few blocks from where he was shot, and police believe the motive may have been connected to a fight.
