PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A vigil is set to be held Sunday night at the Cobbs Creek Recreation Center for 26-year-old Savion Pollard-Poulson, who was fatally shot earlier this week inside a store in University City.

Police say the suspect opened fire after an argument inside the 40th and Market Grocery, hitting the victim in the leg and chest before fleeing on an electric scooter.
