A young man was killed while his twin brother and a third man were injured following a triple shooting in Southwest Philadelphia Sunday night.
A 21-year-old man, his twin brother and a 25-year-old man were on the 2500 block of South Alden Street at 8:48 p.m. when an unidentified gunman opened fire.
The 21-year-old, later identified as Isaiah Rankins, was shot in the head and taken to Presbyterian Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 9:15 p.m.
Rankins' twin brother was shot once in the abdomen and was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania where he was listed in stable condition.
The 25-year-old was shot multiple times throughout his body and was also taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania where he was listed in critical condition.
Police recovered a weapon that fell out of Rankins' waistband as he was being loaded into a patrol car to be taken to the hospital, police said. No arrests have been made and police have not yet released information on any suspects outside of saying they may be looking for a 19-year-old.
