PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Police say a killer is loose on the streets of Southwest Philadelphia, and a surveillance video shows the moment that gunman opened fire.

A gunman shot a 23-year-old man sitting outside his home on Tuesday along the 1700 block of Avondale Street and left him to die.

People ran for their lives when a man driving a white Mercedes SUV allegedly fired those shots.

The victim was rushed to the hospital but didn't make it.

He was pronounced dead just before 1:30 p.m.

Police have no one in custody or a motive.
