Man dies after being shot multiple times outside West Philadelphia bar

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A man who was shot more than a dozen times outside a bar in West Philadelphia has died.

It happened around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday at 62nd and Market streets.

Police arrived at the scene for the report of a shooting but did not find a victim.

They were soon notified the 37-year-old victim had been driven to Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital with gunshot wounds to his chest and torso.

He was pronounced dead a short time later.

Police say according to witnesses and surveillance video, the victim was sitting in the driver's seat of a parked vehicle when the shooter walked up and fired multiple shots at the driver's side door.

"Based on the crime scene we know at least 14 shots were fired from a semi-automatic weapon," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said.

That's when investigators say another person got inside the car and drove the 37-year-old victim to the hospital.

Officers received witness statements from bar patrons and employees; they say both the victim and alleged gunman were inside the bar before the shooting, but it did not appear there was any altercation between them.

Police say surveillance video clearly shows the suspect they are looking for.
