Philadelphia police have issued a new appeal for help in identifying the gunmen who wounded nine people May 22 outside the Felton Supper Club.

Philadelphia police have issued a new appeal for help in identifying the gunmen who wounded nine people May 22 outside the Felton Supper Club.

A surveillance video of the shooting in the 4800 block of Rising Sun Avenue in the Feltonville section shows two shooters - whose faces are not clearly visible - standing in the intersection of Rising Sun Avenue and Louden Street, firing semiautomatic handguns into a large crowd outside the club. The video can be seen at philly.com/felton

The men are described as black males in their late teens or early twenties. Both are about 5-foot-9 with medium builds. One was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt with jeans, the other a dark hooded sweatshirt with white writing on it. They may have been at a Rite Aid near the club shortly before the shooting, police have said.

The city has since revoked the club's license to operate, citing a history of violent incidents. Anyone with information should call East Detectives at 215-686-3243.
