PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Philadelphia police say suspects went through the pockets of a man who lay dying after he was gunned down on a city street.

Police haven’t identified the 31-year-old victim of Tuesday night’s shooting in the city’s Hunting Park neighborhood.

Police say the man was shot once in the left side of the chest and once in the left arm before at least two people were seen going through his pockets about 8:30 p.m. Police haven’t confirmed that those people were also the shooters, but suspect they may have been.



Investigators found some identification dropped by someone at the scene, and say it doesn’t belong to the victim. Police say he’s from outside the city and that the identification belongs to someone from west Philadelphia.

Police have yet to announce arrests.
