A 23-year-old man was shot and killed overnight in the driveway of his Logan home.

Police said the man was shot several times just before 2 a.m. Monday in the driveway of his home on the 5300 block of North Sydenham Street.

The victim was taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 2:20 a.m., according to authorities.

Relatives told TV news outlets that the victim was a recent college graduate. Officials have not released the man’s name.

“It’s hard for the family. And if anybody knows anything, I wish someone would step forward and bring these people to justice because he didn’t deserve this,” a man who identified himself as the victim’s uncle told NBC10. “He wasn’t no street guy; he didn’t hang out. He was a good, fun-loving guy who worked every day.”

Detectives are investigating the incident. Police have not identified any suspects and did not say whether a motive was known.
