One person was shot and killed outside of a Lil Durk concert on a crowded street in Philadelphia tonight, according to a report by The Philadelphia Inquirer. The shooting reportedly took place around 8:30 pm EST and the victim was struck once in the abdomen before being taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. The name of the 25-year old victim has yet to be released.
Police report that a suspect wearing a black "OTF" t-shirt fled the scene, possibly in a limousine, and that three suspects have been taken in for questioning. A possible murder weapon, a semiautomatic handgun, was reportedly found "in the wheel well of a car parked" nearby, according to Philly.com.
Durk was in Philly as a part of his ongoing "Remember My Name Tour" which was also scheduled to feature Gunplay and Hypno Carlito as opening acts tonight. The Chicago rapper has yet to acknowledge the shooting publicly but sent out a handful of unrelated Tweets following the incident.
The concert at the Theatre of Living Arts was reportedly canceled following the shooting though approximately 100 people were held inside the venue as police processed the crime scene outside.
