Montgomery County authorities have launched a homicide investigation after a man was found dead Sunday night in Lower Merion Township.
About 10:45 p.m., police responded to the report of a shooting on the 1400 block of Surrey Lane in the township’s Wynnewood section, just off City Avenue, the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement. Officers said they found a dead man who appeared to have been shot multiple times.
The man was identified on Monday as Nahray Mumakk Crisden, 19, of Philadelphia.
It was not immediately clear whether he was shot on the street or inside a home, or whether authorities had any idea who may have shot him and why.
