On the afternoon of February 13, 2024, police in the Tioga-Nicetown section of Philadelphia responded to a report of a person with a gun on the 3600 block of North 17th Street just before 3:50 p.m. Inside a Kia Sportage officers and paramedics found two people shot multiple times in the head and torso. Both were pronounced dead at the scene: 53-year-old Lamont Wright, identified as being from Los Angeles, California, and 32-year-old Denver Newton of Southwest Philadelphia.

Surveillance footage released by investigators shows two men approaching the Kia Sportage, opening fire on Wright and Newton, then fleeing in a dark-colored Nissan Altima. No arrests have been announced and the motive remains unknown.

Did anyone in the Tioga-Nicetown area see the dark-colored Nissan Altima or the two men captured on the surveillance footage?
