A man was found shot dead this morning inside a car in Northeast Philadelphia, police said.

The victim, in his early 20s, was shot once in the head inside a tan Pontiac parked in a driveway on the 800 block of Unruh Avenue in the Castor Gardens section, police said.

He was pronounced dead at the scene at 7 a.m.

No word yet on a possible motive.

Police in North Philadelphia in the meantime are looking for whoever riddled a 16-year-old boy with bullets just before midnight on the 1400 block of North Dover Street in the Brewerytown section.

The youth was taken to Temple University Hospital, where he was reported in critical condition.

Again, no word yet on a possible motive.
