A man died Monday after he was shot seven times at a Philadelphia bar, and police have not made an arrest in the shooting.
Around 11:30 p.m., police were called to the Uptown Cafe in Mt. Airy, a neighborhood in northwest Philadelphia. Inside, police found a 38-year-old man lying next to a pool table. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
On Tuesday, police identified the victim as Kenneth Singleton of the Lawndale area of northeast Philadelphia. He suffered gunshot wounds to his torso and arm, WCAU-TV reported.
At the bar, police found seven spent shells from a semi-automatic weapon and a broken pool stick, leading them to believe the shooting happened because of a fight, Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small.
Police have no description of a shooter, but said they are reviewing surveillance video and interviewing witnesses.
