Philadelphia police ID 2 weekend homicide victims

Police on Tuesday identified two men found fatally shot in vehicles in over the weekend in Southwest Philadelphia.

Both victims shared the same last name - Turner - but police said they did not believe the two were related.

George Turner, 39, of the 500 block of Fern Boulevard in Upper Darby, was found dead inside a Chevrolet Uplander on the 5100 block of Woodland Avenue about 5:10 a.m. Sunday.

He had been shot multiple times in the head, police said.

Police said they are still seeking a motive in the slaying and had not identified any suspects.

Vance Turner, 26, of the 1900 block of South Salford Street in Southwest Philadelphia, was found inside a Hyundai Sonata about 2:20 a.m. Saturday on the 2000 block of South 66th Street in the Mount Moriah section, police said.

He was bleeding from gunshot wounds to the legs and torso and died about 45 minutes later at Penn-Presbyterian Medical Center.

Police said the preliminary investigation found Vance Turner was selling drugs there when two men came around the corner and opened fire on him.

The shooters fled and are being sought, police said.

As with all homicides in the city, a $20,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to the conviction of anyone involved in each slaying. Tipsters can call the Homicide Unit at 215-686-3334.
