Detectives Question Man in Brother's Deadly Shooting

Homicide detectives on Monday morning were questioning a man in connection with the death of his brother in a South Philadelphia house, police said.

Chief Inspector Scott Small said officers responded to a house on 7th Street near Bigler early Monday. Inside, they found a man dead of a gunshot wound to the face.

Small said police have reason to believe the man's brother, who was also in the house at the time, may have shot him -- but it's unclear if he did so on purpose or by accident, so detectives were questioning him.

The victim has not been identified.
