Juan Christian, a 41-year-old father of eight, was ambused in the 2000 block of West Boston St. around 10 p.m., investigators said.

Police are searching for two men caught on surviellance video running from the scene. One of the suspects was shown carrying a bag of food, the other a shotgun. Police also said the suspects took the victim’s money.

Christian was taken to Temple Hospital where he underwent surgery and remained in critical condition Friday night.
