1 killed in triple shooting in Target parking lot near City Avenue

One man was killed in a triple shooting Tuesday night in the parking lot of the Target store off City Avenue, Philadelphia police said.

About 8:55 p.m., two police officers were inside the Target in the 4000 block of Monument Road taking a robbery report when two shooting victims ran inside asking for help. Police transported the men, ages 23 and 31, to Lankenau Medical Center where they were both listed in critical but stable condition with several gunshot wounds each.

Police responding to the scene found a third victim dead with a gunshot wound to the head inside a white Jeep SUV with the engine still running about 200 feet away from the store entrance.

He was identified Wednesday as Daykwan Carter, 25, of the 5300 block of Morris Street in Germantown

Police said he was lying face down with his head in the back seat and his legs in the front of the Jeep. A gun was found on the driver’s seat and four large bags of what appeared to be marijuana were on the floor.

The Jeep had been struck several times by gunfire on the passenger side. Another SUV parked next to the Jeep also was hit by bullets. Nearby, a third SUV was crashed with minor front-end damage into a unoccupied parked vehicle. Police said the two men who ran into the store may have been in the third SUV.

Police found a second gun on the ground at the crime scene.

No arrests were reported.
