PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A triple shooting in Philadelphia left one man dead and two others injured back in September.

Authorities are still hoping someone will come forward with information that could close this case.

Just before 3 p.m. on September 21, neighbors along the 500 block of Queen Lane in the city's Germantown section say they heard more than a dozen gunshots.

"There were over 20 fragments of shells in that area. Three people were hit, one fatally," said Santo Montecalvo with the Citizens Crime Commission.

That fatality was 27-year-old Walter Lyons. The other two victims, who are also in their twenties, survived.

"No other weapons found on these three guys," said Montecalvo.
