Police: Man, 51, shot and killed inside vacant home in East Germantown

Authorities are investigating after a 51-year-old man was fatally shot in the head inside a vacant home in East Germantown.

Police responded to the 5500 block of Boyd Street just sometime before midnight on Friday. The victim was reportedly found inside the vacant property near the campus of LaSalle University. 

The victim, whose name was not released, was pronounced dead on the scene by medics. Investigators on Saturday revealed that the victim was shot in the shoulder in April, and at least one other time before that.

Police have not identified a suspect at this time, but they believe there may have been a witness.

No word on what sparked the shooting.
