A man also was killed in a quadruple shooting an hour later in the Eastwick section of Southwest Philadelphia, police said.
Just after 6 p.m., police responded to reports of shooting at the corner of Oxford Avenue and Pratt Street and found the 19-year-old man lying on the floor in an aisle inside the market, said Chief Inspector Scott Small.
Police transported the man, who was shot several times, to Temple University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 6:34 p.m. He was not named.

The shooter then went outside and shot into a Cadillac SUV, wounding the 20-year-old man who was sitting in the front passenger seat, Small said.
The 28-year-old woman was pumping gas and was grazed by a stray bullet, Small said.
