A 50-year-old man died early Wednesday after being shot in West Philadelphia, police said.

The shooting occurred about 1:40 a.m. on Yewdall Street just south of Market Street. The victim was identified Thursday by police as Darrell Felton, who lived on that block. He was shot multiple times in the right side of his chest and was pronounced dead shortly afterward, police said.

Police said 14 shots were fired at the scene.

Police have also identified two homicide victims from shootings earlier this week. A 20-year-old man who was fatally wounded while on the 2800 block of C Street in Kensington about 6:40 p.m. Tuesday was identified as Hector Toro, who lived on the block. Toro, who was shot in the head and body, died about 40 minutes later at Temple University Hospital.

A 29-year-old man who was shot in the head about 9:45 p.m. Monday on the 1100 block of East Stafford Street in East Germantown was identified as Delfon Canin of nearby Price Street. He was pronounced dead a short time later at Einstein Medical Center.

No arrests were reported in any of the shootings.
