A shooting in Kingessing left a 22-year-old man dead early Wednesday evening, police said.
Police said the man walked out of a store at the corner of 53rd Street and Greenway Avenue around 6 p.m. and was shot twice in the chest and once in the head. Two groups of men had exchanged gunfire at the corner, and 18 shell casings were found at the scene, investigators said.
Cops were unsure of the victim's involvement in the gun battle, but they said the victim did not have a weapon on him when he was shot.
He was rushed by police to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where he was pronounced dead at 6:05 p.m.
No descriptions of the shooters were available, and police weren't sure what motivated the gun battle.

- Didn't say I was. But, I wouldn't routinely or otherwise go on blogs and make light of somebody's death. Or seek to portray a whole community according to degrading stereotypes. Is that keeping it real enough?— 2sides2story
- Its not just here, its everywhere. They are typical trolling loser cowards who have nothing else better to do than post hateful garbage on forums. They never actually go out and "do" anything to make the world a better place. They are called trolls, since the beginning of time they have existed. They are pathetic, shells of human beings who are sad pathetic lost souls. I mean think about it, you would have to be an incredible loser to post garbage on forums that make fun of the pain of others. — SuddenImpact
