PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Philadelphia police are investigating the shooting death of a man early Friday they say began with a luring phone call.

The deadly shooting happened at about 12:30 a.m. at an apartment complex in the 7000 block of N. 15th Street in the city’s West Oak Lane section.

According to investigators, the incident began when the unidentified victim received a phone call on his cell phone.

As the victim left his apartment, he was confronted by two suspects in the apartment’s vestibule and an argument ensued.
