Officers responded just after 2:30 a.m. Wednesday to 911 calls of a shooting in the rear parking lot at Grant Avenue and Blue Grass Road.
When they arrived, officers found a man believed to be in his 20s shot in the back.
Medics took him to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Authorities say they also found another man standing over the victim.
That man was taken to police headquarters for questioning. They are not sure if he was with the victim at the time of the shooting.
“What (the victim) was doing behind the LA Fitness, we don’t know. The witness we have, why that individual was behind LA Fitness, we don’t know. But we have that witness’ vehicle that is right next to the crime scene,” Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said.
Investigators found a spent shell casing and what appears to be a laser light that attaches to a semi-automatic weapon at the scene.
No arrests have been made.
