One man was killed and another wounded in a double shooting late Monday night in the city’s Upper Roxborough section, police said.

About 10:20 p.m., police responded to the 7700 block of Matthias Street, where they found a 32-year-old West Philadelphia man unresponsive in the driver's seat of a red pickup truck, said Chief Inspector Scott Small.

Medics pronounced the man dead at 10:35 p.m. Two spent shell casings were recovered from just outside the truck.

Police found a 27-year-old man across the street with gunshot wounds to his arm and leg. Medics took him to Einstein Medical Center, where he was reported in stable condition.

The shooter may have fled in a dark-colored Jeep.
