Police in Philadelphia are investigating after a woman was found shot to death in a Strawberry Mansion food market early Sunday.
According to law enforcement officials, officers responding to a call at about 5:29 a.m. along N. 29th Street at the intersection with W. Cumberland Street, found Terri Rodgers, 45, who lived on that block, dead in the Seven Days Food Market.
Officials said she was shot in the face and was pronounced at the scene, but they have not yet released any further information on the woman's identity or motive for the slaying.
Investigators said that they are on the lookout for the occupants of a Nissan Pathfinder, gold or silver in color, that, police believe, had a ladder on top of it at the time of the shooting, for their possible involvement in the incident.
