"This job happens at 11 a.m. We had like nine pieces of ballistic evidence that were recovered from the scene. Somebody had to see something, so they're looking for a witness, some kind of evidence they can link to the people that did this," said Apeldorn.
The City of Philadelphia is offering up to $20,000 in reward money for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible. All you have to do is call the Citizens Crime Commission at 215-546-TIPS. All calls will remain anonymous.
