Man killed, teen injured in ambush shooting at North Philadelphia gas station
A 38-year-old man was shot multiple and was pronounced dead at the scene. A 14-year-old was taken to Temple in stable condition.
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Two people, including a 14-year-old boy, were shot Tuesday morning during an ambush at a North Philadelphia gas station, according to police.
Police said two masked gunmen opened fire on a car at about 8:45 a.m. at a gas station parking lot in the 2800 block of North Broad Street.
According to investigators, there were four people inside the Nissan Altima when the gunmen began firing.
"Two individuals, only being described as males in all black with masks on, approached the car. Both of them fired multiple rounds into the vehicle," said Philadelphia Chief Inspector Frank Vanore.
Police said the shooting happened while the female driver went inside to pay for gas. At least 17 shots were fired.
A 38-year-old man was shot multiple times throughout the body and was pronounced dead at the scene. He has since been identified as Dysaun Kershaw, of the 200 block of West Seymour Street.
A 14-year-old boy was shot one time in the right shoulder, police said.
A second child was in the backseat but was not injured.
The teen was taken to Temple University Hospital where he was listed in stable condition.
"At this point we don't have much information. We're looking at video and trying to find witnesses to the incident," Vanore said.
Police sources tell Action News they believe the vehicle used by the shooters may be connected with a shooting that injured three people on August 12 at 9th and Girard streets.
No arrests have been made, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 215-686-TIPS.
