Police have identified two men slain in unrelated homicides yesterday.

Adrian Wills, 22, of Boyer Street near Church Lane in East Germantown, died about 4:40 p.m. yesterday at the Albert Einstein Medical Center after someone shot him in the left side a half hour earlier in an alley near Olney Avenue and 19th Street just off La Salle University's campus. Police said an argument prompted the gunfire. The suspects is described as a light-complected black man, about 5-foot-10 and with a scruffy beard. He was wearing a white thermal top, black pants and a black skull cap.

In the second case, Khoeum Roeun, 24, of Marvine Street near Duncannon Avenue in Logan, died at Einstein at 6:30 p.m. after getting shot in the neck a half hour earlier on Ruscomb Street near 13th. A second man, 23, was taken to Einstein with a gunshot wound to his right ankle. The incident led to a standoff with police after authorities tracked the alleged assailants to a nearby home; those suspects now are in custody and charges are expected.
