A 65-year old man was reportedly shot and killed outside of a Mosque in Delaware County last night.
A report from 6-ABC Action News said the shooting happened at South 69th & Walnut Streets at around 7:45 p.m. on Sunday evening.
First arriving police at the scene found the victim shot in the parking lot behind the Masjid Al Madinah Upper Darby Islamic Center. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police believe the shooting stemmed from a carjacking, after finding the car connected to the incident abandoned on Webster Street in West Philadelphia. Officials said the victim came to the Masjid to pray.
“I just can’t believe this happened to him in such a horrible way. All I can tell is he doesn’t deserve this. He has a beautiful family. He is one of the best in our community” said an unidentified friend of the victim at the crime scene.
Police said they are reviewing surveillance video in the hope of obtaining more information about the incident. The victim’s identity has not been released to the public at this time. No suspects were named and no arrests have been made at this time.
