It happened just after midnight Wednesday on the 900 block of East Locust Avenue.
Arriving officers found the victim lying on the sidewalk suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the chest.
He was taken to Einstein Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
Police say a gunman fired at least 10 shots at close range.
Most of the spent shell casings were found on the sidewalk inches from where the victim was lying, police say.
Friends and family tell authorities the victim lived about two houses down from where the shooting took place.
Police hope nearby private surveillance cameras will help lead them to a suspect.
