A 58-year-old man was killed and three others were wounded in a shooting Friday night in Southwest Philadelphia, police said.

The quadruple shooting occurred shortly before 10 p.m. on the 6500 block of Woodland Avenue in the Elmwood Park neighborhood.

All four victims were transported to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, police said. One man who was shot in the chest was pronounced dead at the hospital.

On Monday, he was identified by police as Theodore Furman, of the 2200 block of Bonaffon Street, a couple blocks from the shooting scene. Furman was found wounded inside a store on Woodland at Gould Street, said Inspector D.F. Pace.

The other victims — ages 25, 28, and 42, all men — were found in the doorway of the store or outside and were struck by bullets fired outside toward the store, Pace said.

Police Monday night were still investigating the matter, and no arrests had been made.

People with knowledge of the incident can report tips anonymously to 215-686-TIPS. The city is offering a $20,000 reward to anyone who shares information that leads to an arrest and conviction.
