A drive-by gunman killed a teenage man and critically injured a teenage boy as they sat inside a vehicle in the Eastwick section of Philadelphia Sunday afternoon.

Sybril Davis, 19, and a 14-year-old boy were sitting inside a car on 8100 Lyons Avenue around 2:20 p.m. when the gunman opened fire, Philadelphia Police said. The boy was shot once in the left side of his face while Davis was shot multiple times in his torso.

Davis, who was from nearby on Grovers Avenue, died a short time later at Presbyterian Hospital while the teen was taken to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia where he was listed in critical condition.
