A 50-year-old man was fatally stabbed Monday morning outside a Wawa in South Philadelphia, police said.

Just before 4 a.m. Monday, police and medics responded to the Wawa at 1602-04 S. Christopher Columbus Blvd. and found a man with a stab wound to his lower abdomen inside a parked dark-colored Kia. The man, whose name was not released, was transported to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 4:38 a.m.

Police said the man reportedly entered the Wawa around 1 a.m. to order food and then returned to his car. A couple hours later customers noticed something wrong with the man in his car and notified store employees, police said.

Police made no arrest and no weapon had been recovered.
