Officers arrived and found the victim in his underwear. Police say the victim was forced to strip before or after he was shot.
"What's unusual about this particular shooting is when police found the victim laying on the sidewalk, he was wearing only his underwear. His clothing was next to him -- a jacket, jeans and sneakers -- so it appears the shooter or shooters made this individual strip either just before or after they shot him," said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small.
The victim is in critical condition at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center.
