A June 26, 2025 dispute inside a 7-Eleven in Philadelphia’s Tacony neighborhood ended in homicide when 55-year-old Tyrone Brown was shot in the head. The confrontation began as a verbal disagreement and escalated to a physical altercation around 7 a.m. at the store on the 6900 block of Torresdale Avenue. Brown was found with a gunshot wound and pronounced dead at the scene minutes later.

Police say the other man involved, identified as 43-year-old Joseph McGinnis, produced a handgun, fired, then fled to a home on the 7000 block of Tulip Street nearby. A 911 call led officers to that residence, where McGinnis briefly barricaded himself before being taken into custody shortly after 9:30 a.m. Authorities charged McGinnis with murder and multiple weapons offenses after witness statements and review of the store’s surveillance video.

If anyone witnessed the incident at the 7-Eleven or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please share what you know.
