Philadelphia police rushed to a home on Whitaker Avenue, near Bleigh Avenue, in the Rhawnhurst section of the city around 1:30 a.m. to find a man in his 30s unresponsive in the front seat of his pickup truck, Small said.

"He was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and torso," Small said.

The man died a short time later at the hospital.

His wife told investigators that her husband had just backed his truck into the driveway of their home when two men approached and started firing, Small said.
