What we know:

Noah Scurry, 17, was shot to death Monday morning on the 5000 block of Rorer Street when police say he was preparing to leave for school with his mother. 

Scurry, a junior at Samuel Fels High School, suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators said nearly two dozen shots were fired in what they believe was a targeted attack against Scurry. 

What we don't know:

Police have not shared a motive for the deadly shooting and have not provided information on a possible suspect. 

What they're saying:

Moments after the deadly shooting, Samuel Fels High School Principal Melissa Rasper shared a letter with the school community about the murder. 

"It is with a heavy heart that I write to inform you of the passing of one of our students whose life was tragically taken this morning," Rasper wrote.

Scurry, who was later identified by police, played on the school basketball team and recently scored the highest among his peers on the SAT college placement test.

"Whenever he entered the room, the room always lit, there was always a smile on someone’s face when they’re around him," sophomore Mohamed Elfaki said.

Fels High School has made grief counseling available to students and staff. 

"This teenager that was killed was exceptional," School District of Philadelphia Spokesperson Monique Braxton said. "No problems from him whatsoever according to the principal and other staff members."
