The names of all five men fatally shot in the city Sunday were released today by police.

Shortly after 7:30 p.m., a gunshot to the chest, apparently during a robbery, took the life of a 22-year-old in the 1600 block of North Lindenwood in Overbrook, according to police.

He was Christopher Lee of the 5100 block of Kershaw Street, about a half-mile from the crime scene - and just two blocks from the site of a second slaying less than a half-hour later.

He was pronounced dead about 8:15 p.m. at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

In the second case, a 28-year-old man was fatally shot in the neck in the 5200 block of Master Street about 8 p.m. He was pronounced dead at HUP about 8:25 p.m.

He was Alonzo Dennis of the 5600 block of Race Street in West Philadelphia.

The two cases are likely unconnected, police said this afternoon.

Shortly after 3 p.m., a 22-year-old man was shot in the chest and lower torso outside in the 2700 block of W. Eyre Street in North Philadelphia. Kevin Underwood lived a couple of blocks away, in the 2800 block of West Oxford Avenue. He was pronounced dead at Temple University Hospital at 3:54 p.m.
