The victim died Sunday morning at the hospital.
He was shot in the chest and face in the 200 block of East Westmoreland Street, just after 11:30 Saturday night.
"Witnesses said that the male was shot while sitting on a porch," said Philadelphia Police Captain Drew Techner. "When we checked the area of a porch of a residence we found one slug embedded in the wall behind a chair, a wicker chair that the victim was sitting in."
Witnesses say an argument at a bar nearby may have played a role.
So far, no arrests have been made.
