A man was shot and killed by four gunmen near his Philadelphia home late Tuesday night, NBC10 reports.
The incident occurred around 11:45 p.m. at Eighth and Ontario streets.
Police say four gunmen were caught on surveillance video approaching the victim, who lived a few houses away from the scene.
"It appears that all four fire shots from point blank range at the 25-year-old victim," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small told NBC10. "The victim collapsed on the sidewalk."
The shooters then fled down Eighth Street in a white minivan, Small said.
The victim was taken to Temple University Hospital, where he died a short time later.
Police say they believe he was targeted "execution style."
The incident remains under investigation.
