Man, shot and killed in vehicle in Strawberry Mansion

A man was shot inside a vehicle in Strawberry Mansion. He tried to drive away, but crashed into a building about a block away and died at that scene.

A Strawberry Mansion street became the scene of violence after someone shot and killed a man inside a vehicle.

The gunfire broke out on the 2400 block of Stanley Street early Saturday morning, around 2:45, officials said.

The 32-year-old victim was said to have been in a vehicle when he was shot. He then made an effort to drive away from that location, only to crash the vehicle into a building a block away, at 31st and York.

The victim has not been identified and homicide detectives have launched a full investigation into the incident.

As in all homicide cases in Philadelphia, a $20,000 reward is offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
