Shortly before 4:00 a.m. on May 14, 2025, Philadelphia police found 42-year-old Shawn D. Baskins of Norristown suffering multiple gunshot wounds inside a pickup truck on the 100 block of West Cambria Street in Kensington. He was taken to Temple University Hospital and died shortly after arrival. Two other men in the truck were also struck: a 49-year-old wounded in the arms and legs, and a 40-year-old shot in the leg; both were hospitalized.

Investigators say a gunman approached the vehicle, opened a door, and fired at least fifteen shots into the cab, and detectives believe the pickup truck was specifically targeted. The Homicide Unit is reviewing surveillance footage and looking for a suspect or a getaway vehicle while trying to establish the relationship between the three victims and whether the attack was connected to another nearby fatal shooting that occurred hours earlier.

No arrests or public identifications of suspects have been announced and police have not released a shooter description. A reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction. If anyone has information about Baskins, the other victims, or the shooting, please share what is known with investigators.
