Police have identified men who were slain in separate shootings in Philadelphia this week, as investigators continue to search for the gunmen.

Philadelphia police on Thursday identified 19-year-old Miguel Colon as the man who was found shot to death in a 1998 Honda CRV in Juniata Park on Wednesday afternoon.

Officers found him suffering from gunshot wounds to his head, chest and arm inside the SUV, which was stopped with its engine running on the 4000 block of Howland Street just before 2 p.m.

Medics took Colon, of Juniata Park, to Temple University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 2:34 p.m.

In a separate case of a man found shot to death inside a vehicle, police identified 25-year-old Jahil Hubbard as the victim in an early Tuesday killing.

Hubbard, of Overbrook, was found slumped over the wheel of a white Dodge Charger on the 1600 block of North Redfield Street shortly after 2 a.m.

He was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his neck and chest and was pronounced dead at the scene.

No arrests have been made in either case, and police had no descriptions of any suspects.

The motives for the killings also weren't known.
