$17,500 Reward Offered in Society Hill Shooting

Police are seeking the public's help in identifying the two men caught on camera shooting a man on Pine Street in November.

A shooting in the upscale Society Hill section of Center City has Philadelphia Police asking for the public's help, and they're hoping that with a cash incentive, someone with information might come forward.

The Citizens Crime Commission is offering a $17,500 reward for any information leading to the arrest of two men they say shot another man on November 7.

A 46-year-old man was left in critical condition after being attacked and shot in the chest by two men walking on the 400 block of Pine Street around 11:20 p.m., police said.

Police believe the motive was most likely robbery.

The whole incident was caught on surveillance camera and police posted the disturbing video on their YouTube channel in the hope of someone recognizing the suspects.

In the video, the two men approach the victim. One of the men then lands a punch that seems to take down the victim.

The two suspects continue to assault the victim and then there are two flashes -- possibly the gunshots -- before the two suspects flee. 

Police released these   descriptions of the two suspects:

Suspect 1: A 6-foot to 6-foot-2, 170- to 180-pound white male who was carrying a gun and wearing a dark vest with a white design on the back with a black hoodie and blue jeans.

Suspect 2: A 5-foot-9, 150-pound white male who was dressed in all dark clothing.

If you see these men police urge you to not approach them and to call 9-1-1 immediately.

Anyone with information should contact Philadelphia Police Central Detective Division Det. Bova at 215-686-3193/3194 or call 215-686-8477.
