Surveillance video of the incident was released Tuesday in hopes someone recognizes the gunmen.
It was 1:20 a.m. Monday when two men, ages 35 and 36, left the Grape Room Bar on the 100 block of Grape Street and began walking to their car, which was parked nearby on the 4300 block of Cresson Street.
Police say as the men approached their vehicle, gunfire erupted.
The 35-year-old was critically injured, having sustained three gunshot wounds to his chest.
The 36-year-old victim was shot in the arm and hand.

The second suspect is described as a black male, husky build, goatee, last seen wearing a red shirt with white lettering on the front and blue jeans.
