The man, whose identity was not released, was killed on the first block of Bryn Mawr Avenue shortly after 7:30 p.m., Lt. Steve Varn said at the scene. Detectives are out on the street investigating the crime.
A resident of the street, who would not give his name out of fear of retaliation, said he heard two gunshots from a large-caliber weapon.
The crime scene stretched nearly half the lane of the avenue, a dead-end street with an open area at its top that serves as a cut-through to the Eisenhower and Wilson-Haverstick housing projects beyond.
Detectives were seen clustered around a white Dodge sedan at the end of the street, its lights on and motor running, but no one inside. A fenced-in front yard on its passenger side was littered with bloody clothing and a hat, which a police officer bagged as evidence.
A full description of the suspect was not immediately available.The victim is believed to be 21 years old, police said.
