Suspect arrested after man shot and killed in Philadelphia's Port Richmond section

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police have made an arrest after a man was shot and killed in the Port Richmond section of the city earlier this week.

The victim was discovered on Salmon Street, near East Monmouth, around 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday.

He was identified as 49-year-old Michael Neumann, according to police.

The day after the shooting, police arrested 20-year-old Patrick Suarez after a short foot pursuit, officials said.

A neighbor, who was arriving home from work, was flagged down by a man on a bike who said he had seen the victim on the sidewalk but didn't have a phone.

"I was approached by a man on a bike. While at the stop sign, he asked me to stop, said he needed some help. Didn't know what it was -- was a little suspect at that time of night. Continued to tell me I needed to call 911. He almost had ran over a man that was bleeding from the head on the sidewalk of Salmon. He rides back on his bike, I pull down the street -- keep a safe distance because I didn't know what I was getting into and confirmed there was a body there and called 911 and stuck around and talked to detectives," explained Ryan Leigh.

Neumann had been shot in the head and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Neighbors tell 6abc they heard shots in the area shortly before midnight. A neighbor who lives around the corner shared Ring video of police searching the area around midnight.

Right now, it's unclear if those were unrelated gunshots or if they were the fatal shots, and the victim wasn't initially found.

Police did recover some bullet casings, but don't know the circumstances of the shooting yet.

A firearm was recovered in Suarez's possession when he was arrested. He has been charged with murder and related offenses.

The investigation is ongoing.
