DA: Philadelphia man shot, killed in Cheltenham after possible road rage incident
CHELTENHAM, Pa. (WPVI) -- Investigators say a man has died after a shooting in Montgomery County that stemmed from an apparent case of road rage.
The shooting happened around 9:30 p.m. Monday in the area of Dewey Road and Front Street in Cheltenham Township, Pa.
According to the district attorney's office, that's where 29-year-old Rithina Torn of Philadelphia was found with multiple gunshot wounds.
He was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Investigators say Torn was shot after he approached a dark-colored vehicle during a dispute at the intersection.
The person who shot Torn remains at large. Detectives say they are interviewing witnesses and gathering surveillance video.
Sopheap Duch has been a friend of Torn's since they were toddlers. He described his best friend as kind, loyal, and a father of two who was devoted to his family.
Duch can't believe Torn was cut down in such a cruel and callous act.
"They don't have no remorse, they don't have no heart of seeing who they leaving behind," said Duch. "He's got two kids, a mother, see what I'm saying? Friends, brothers, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, grandparents."
