PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A 35-year-old man was fatally shot near South Street in the Society Hill section of Philadelphia early Monday morning.
The shooting happened around 2:15 a.m. on the 500 block of Front Street.
"We heard a series of gunshots," said Gaurav Raychaudhury of Society Hill. "I woke up, I saw the car windows were open, there (was) a lot of smoke coming out."
Police say a male victim with multiple gunshot wounds was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead at 2:40 a.m. His identity has not been released.
The Action Cam was on the scene as evidence markers and shell casings were scattered across the roadway.
Police examined a Buick riddled with bullet holes. The car behind it was also struck.
"This area supposedly should be peaceful and very family-friendly, but in the evening after 9 p.m. it turns into a lot of chaos because there's a series of pubs and bars on South Street, and this intersection is where people park their cars," said Raychaudhury.
Neighbors say this overnight incident is unsettling, but the area is typically quiet during daytime hours.
"I feel safe and secure; I'm also not out at 2:45 in the morning, so I don't know what kind of trouble you run into then, but, yeah, I feel safe," said Mike Leonard of Society Hill.
Authorities closed the small stretch of Front Street between Lombard and Naudain as they investigated the scene.
Police are looking for surveillance footage to learn more about what led up to this homicide.
No arrests have been made.
