Police are looking for a group of men on dirt bikes who shot and killed a man in Philadelphia on Monday.

The incident happened at about 8 p.m. at the corner of Potter and Huntingdon streets in the city’s Kensington neighborhood, according to 6ABC and NBC10.

Six people could be seen on surveillance video riding three different bikes, news reports said.

The 55-year-old man, who police have not identified, suffered gunshot wounds to his neck, chest and leg. He was taken to a hospital where he died due to his injuries.

Philadelphia Chief Inspector Scott Small told news outlets that there were at least 40 shots fired by two or more people with semi-automatic guns.

After the shooting, all six suspects got back on their bikes and rode away.

The victim was in a group of eight other people but no one else was injured.

Anyone with information is asked to call 215-686-8477.
