A Cedar Park man was shot and killed in an execution-style ambush as he got out of his SUV Wednesday night near a go-go bar in West Philadelphia, police said.
Maurice Adside, 31, of the 5100 block of Walton Avenue, had parked at 52nd and Pine streets just after 11 p.m. when his attacker approached on foot, police said.
"The shooter walked up, within feet, and fired at least six shots. So it appears that this individual was the intended target," Chief Inspector Scott Small told reporters.
He fell outside Cousin Danny's Exotic Haven go-go bar.
Adside, who was shot twice in the upper right thigh and once in the upper left back, died at 11:19 p.m. at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, police said.
No arrests were made and the motive for the shooting wasn't known. The investigation continues.
The block has a bloody history: Three people were shot, one fatally, on the street in October 2014, and another man was gunned down and killed inside the go-go bar in August 2009.
