Philadelphia police are investigating a murder that authorities believe is possibly connected to a brutal corner store beating on Sunday evening.
Police say a 26-year-old man was found shot to death on the 5900 block of North Norwood Street around 6 p.m. in the city's Ogontz section.
Authorities say the unidentified victim was shot at least seven times.
"We know the individual was clearly the intended target and the shooter or shooters shot at him literally inches from his body and continued to shoot while he was down," said Philadelphia Police Inspector DF Pace. "It was a brutal killing, and he was pronounced shortly after arrival at the hospital."
Police believe the murder victim and another suspect, who was later arrested, carried out a vicious beating and robbery of two men earlier in the evening at a corner store located on the 2000 block of Church Lane.
