Police are looking for suspects in two fatal shootings in Philadelphia since Friday.

The most recent happened about 1:30 a.m. Monday, when officers were called to the 4100 block of Cambridge Street in the Belmont section of West Philadelphia after a man was found in the street.

The man, who had been shot in the chest, was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where he died at 1:51 a.m., police said.

The man's name was not released because his family was still being notified. The motive was unknown and no description of any suspects was available.

Police on Monday also identified a teenager who was slain in a triple shooting in North Philadelphia over the weekend.

James Wilford, 18, was shot several times, including in his head, on the 3300 block of North 13th Street just before 11 p.m. Friday, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene 11:05 p.m.

Two other men, ages 19 and 20, were also wounded. The 19-year-old suffered a graze wound to his left forearm, while the 20-year-old was shot in his right thigh and foot, police said. Both men walked to Temple University Hospital for treatment.

No arrests had been made as of Monday morning and the motive for the killing remained under investigation.
