Man dead after shootout in Philadelphia ShopRite parking lot, police say
Police are searching for a shooter after a man was killed in a shootout at a Northeast Philadelphia shopping center parking lot on Thursday night.
The shooting happened in the Shoppes at Wissinoming lot at Harbison Avenue and Tulip Street.
A little after 10:30 p.m., officers arrived to find a man who had been shot multiple times. He was pronounced dead on the scene. His identity has not been released but investigators believed he was in his late teens or early 20s.
Witnesses told police the victim came to the lot with another man to meet another group of men. The reason for the meetup wasn't clear, but eventually, the victim and a man in the other group began shooting at each other.
The surviving shooter, a man in his 20s, fled the scene. A gun was found at the scene and police say it belonged to that shooter.
One arrest was made but police have not responded to questions on whether that person is the shooter.
Several surveillance cameras have footage that will help with the investigation, according to police.
