Lindenwold police Saturday night were searching for an intruder who they said shot a man at the Coachman Manor Apartments during an apparent early-morning robbery attempt of the victim's home.

Ever Santos, 25, a resident of the Gibbsboro Road apartment, was shot multiple times shortly after 4 a.m., according to a statement from County Prosecutor Warren W. Faulk and Lindenwold Police Chief Thomas Brennan. Santos was pronounced dead at 5:05 a.m. at Kennedy University Hospital-Stratford.

Santos was one of four men killed late Friday and early Saturday in separate incidents in the region.

Keister McCargo, 38, of Camden, was shot at 11:30 p.m. Friday at East State Street and River Road in Camden. He died at Cooper Hospital. A 36-year-old Camden man whose name was not released was shot in the same confrontation and was being treated Saturday at Cooper Hospital.

Two teenagers were killed in separate attacks in West Philadelphia early Saturday.

Marquis Mebane, 19, died after being shot once in the chest and once in the head outside on the 6100 block of Walton Avenue in Cobbs Creek about 12:15 a.m. He died at 12:57 a.m. at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

Shortly after 2 a.m. on the Parkside/Belmont border in West Philadelphia, police responding to a radio call found Tyree Lloyd, 19, on the 4000 block of Girard Avenue, stabbed in the chest. He was also taken to HUP, where he was pronounced dead at 2:36 a.m.

That killing happened just hours after a shooting less than a half-mile away.

No arrest had been made in either homicide.

Around 11:15 p.m. Friday, a 34-year-old man was shot multiple times on the 4200 block of Mantua Avenue in the Belmont section of West Philadelphia.

The man, whose name was not released, was shot once in the neck, once in the upper back, and once in the right hand. He was listed in critical but stable condition at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center.

He was later transferred to HUP.
