A shirtless man in cutoff jeans shot and killed a man celebrating his 30th birthday, said Philadelphia Police.
The gunman fired multiple shots at the birthday celebrator following an argument around 11:30 p.m. along E Allegheny Avenue near F Street in Kensington, said police.
Police arrived at the scene to find the victim "laying in the middle of the street, unresponsive, unconscious suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper back and his head," said police Chief Inspector Scott Small.
He died a short time later at Temple University Hospital.
"What makes this story even more tragic… was that he actually got killed on his 30th birthday," said Small.
"A friend of the victim said the motive of the shooting was an earlier fight."
Investigators believe the shooter used a revolver because they found no shell casings at the scene, said Small.
