Violent Night in Philadelphia Leaves At Least Four Dead

Philadelphia homicide detectives were busy early Sunday morning after a surge of violence left several people dead across the city.

About 1 a.m., officers were called to Stella Street near Emerald in Kensington, where they found a 44-year-old man lying unconscious in a pool of blood. He had gunshot wounds to his leg, neck and chest, according to police, and was pronounced dead at the scene at 1:20 a.m. Detectives were investigating the homicide, and police early Sunday had not yet revealed the victim's identity, nor a suspected motive for the fatal shooting.
