Police say Baskins was in the driver's seat of a pickup truck and was fatally shot in the head. A 49-year-old man also suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the arms and legs and was taken to Temple University Hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
Police say a third victim, a 40-year-old man, showed up at Episcopal Hospital by a private vehicle and is connected to the same shooting. He was taken to Temple University Hospital in stable condition.
They are investigating how the three are connected.
