Raheem Jefferson, 43, suffered multiple gunshot wounds near Al-Aqsa Islamic Society, 1501 Germantown Avenue, authorities said. He was taken to Temple Hospital and pronounced dead at 5:13 p.m.
"The scene is in a parking lot of a mosque, a place of worship," PPD Chief Inspector Scott Small told reporters. "The scene consists of 17 spent shell casings from a large caliber, semi-automatic weapon."
"You can clearly see our victim walking to this mosque for a prayer service" in footage recovered by investigators, Small said. The shooter was seen approaching the victim from behind before firing, he added.
