A 30-year-old man was fatally shot in Nicetown earlier tonight. Darryl Marks was shot at least four times by two men during an apparent attempted robbery at 19th and Cayuga streets at about 8 p.m., said Homicide Sgt. Bob Wilkins.
Marks, of Algard Street near Benner in Northeast Philadelphia, died 20 minutes later. Wilkins said there was little information about the two suspects. Tipsters can call the Homicide Unit at 215-686-3334 or -3335.
