PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A man who was gunned down at a gas station in Philadelphia Sunday night was also the same victim who drove to a city casino for help last month, Action News has learned.



The 28-year-old man was found shot to death Sunday night at a Sunoco gas station on Ridge Avenue in the city's Roxborough neighborhood.



A number of bullet holes pierced the gas pumps and police said they found about 15 shell casings at the scene.



Investigators said the man was able to run about half a block down the street before he collapsed on a hill next to a home. He was later pronounced dead.
