Authorities are searching for a suspect who they say fatally shot a 43-year-old man in an “execution-type homicide” in the parking lot of a Philadelphia mosque as he was walking to a prayer service Tuesday. Investigators believe the victim was the “intended target” of the shooting, but a motive wasn’t immediately clear, city police Chief Inspector Scott Small said. Police have been speaking with at least one witness to the shooting, he said. Philadelphia police responded to several 911 calls reporting gunshots just before 5 p.m., Small said. Officers found the victim unresponsive in the parking lot of Al-Aqsa Islamic Society with gunshot wounds, including at least one to his head and more than one to his torso, Small said. “The scene is in a parking lot of a mosque, a place of worship,” Small said. The man was pronounced dead at Temple University Hospital at 5:13 p.m., police said in a release. The suspect, described as a male wearing dark-colored clothes, was seen fleeing on foot and getting into a dark-colored sedan, Small said.
