Investigators say a 33-year-old man was shot and killed late Thursday night in Philadelphia's historic Old City.

PHILADELPHIA - Investigators say a 33-year-old man was shot and killed overnight Wednesday in Philadelphia's historic Old City section. 

Officers from the Philadelphia Police Department were called to the intersection of 2nd and Market streets around 11:30 p.m. for reports of a shooting.

Authorities say 33-year-old Michael Clemens was found shot several times in the neck and chest, and rushed to Jefferson Hospital where he died.

Investigators say preliminary information shows Clemens approaching the driver's side of a parked car just before he was shot to death. 

Five spent shells and a loaded handgun were found at the crime scene, according to police. It's unclear who the handgun belongs to.

No arrests were reported immediately after the shooting, and investigators have not shared a description of a possible suspect.
