"It makes me kind of uneasy. I have three kids, they do play out here sometimes. I spend mornings out here and it makes me kind of uneasy- but I know law enforcement is handling it," said Antoine Mason.

That was no word on a suspect or motive.

This is the fourth homicide in Philadelphia since Monday evening.
