Man dead after more than 30 shots fired at car in Strawberry Mansion, police say

Philadelphia police say a fatal shooting in Strawberry Mansion "appears to be an execution" after more than 30 bullets were fired at a man sitting inside a car. FOX 29's Steve Keeley has the latest.

PHILADELPHIA - Police in Philadelphia are calling a Tuesday morning fatal shooting in Strawberry Mansion an "execution."

Authorities say officers responded to numerous calls for gunshots on the 1900 block of North 32nd Street just after 1:30 a.m.

According to police, they found a man, identified as Kelvin Manuel Sori, in the driver's seat of a Hyundai Sonata. The vehicle was parked, but the engine was still running, authorities say.

Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said the victim was shot multiple times in the head, face and torso.

According to authorities, ballistic evidence shows at least 31 shots were fired from two separate semi-automatic weapons.

Police say the car the victim was found in was struck more than 15 times, with most of the bullet holes in the driver's side window and door. There were also bullet holes in the front, rear and passenger sides of the car, Small told FOX 29.

"It appears that the shooters were firing into this vehicle from every direction," Small said.

The car is registered to a woman from North Philadelphia and the victim's identity is unknown at this time, police say.

"It appears that our shooters walked right up to this vehicle, fired multiple shots, so this appears to be an execution due to the fact that the car was hit so many times and this victim is hit so many times in his head, face and his torso," Small said.
