Gunman In Deadly Shooting Outside Pizza Shop Sought: Philly Police

PHILADELPHIA — Police in Philadelphia have released images and videos of the man they say shot and killed a person outside a pizza shop Thursday morning.

The shooting took place at about 12:07 a.m. Thursday outside Pete's Pizza on the 2000 block of Ridge Avenue.

Police said the incident began with a minor, two-vehicle crash that may have involved road rage.

The two vehicles pulled over in front of the business, where the drivers argued before going into the shop. When inside, a physical altercation broke out, and that's when the gunman shot the victim, 26, in the head.

Police described the suspect as a tall black man, 50 to 60 years old, with a medium build, long, gray dreadlocks, and gray facial hair.

He was driving a dark-colored, small- to mid-sized Chevrolet SUV, that may have some front or right front damage from the crash.
