"He was sitting in the car with the mother of his children two of his children, I believe the nephew of the child's mother, so the kids were witnesses," said Philadelphia Police Captian Sekou Kinebrew.

Officers are looking for a mid-to-late 2000s Chrysler 300 with black tinted windows.



According to investigators, the car has some distinctive features, such as a dent on the rear passenger-side wheel well and the molding is missing from the rear passenger door.

The driver of the Chrysler is described as an African-American man in his late twenties or early thirties with dreadlocks or braided hair. Police believe there was a second person in the Chrysler as well.
