Cops: Man slain in late-night shooting

A 20-year-old man was gunned down late last night not far from his home in Kensington, police said.

The gunfire rang out just before 11 p.m. on Wishart Street near Front. When officers arrived at the scene, they found the victim lying on the pavement, unresponsive.

He had been shot in chest and arm, and was taken by medics to Temple University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead minutes later, police said.

Police have not released his name, pending family notification. A police spokeswoman said he lived a few blocks from the scene of the shooting.

Investigators have no information on a suspect or motive. Tipsters can call 215-686-8477.
