A 21-year-old man was shot and killed "execution style" in Philadelphia on Sunday while talking to a candidate for the Pennsylvania House.

Police said the the unidentified 21-year-old man was shot while speaking to Democratic candidate Chris Rabb about the state's upcoming primary.

Police said the gunman shot the victim twice in the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A spokesman for Rabb's campaign, Chris Visco, said the the victim told Rabb that he was planning to work the polls on Tuesday.

"He was talking to a voter, a nice young man who works the polls on election day. They were talking about the election. The young man was interested in Chris' campaign and his candidacy for the 200th," Vicso told WPVI-TV.

"One of the people that was with (Chris) handed him a piece of literature, took his phone number, and another young man came up behind him and shot him execution style in the head," he told the televison station.

Rabb is running for a seat in the 200th District, and was canvassing the area at the time.

Visco told Philly.com that Rabb and another campaign worker - both of whom witnessed the shooting but were not injured - were still speaking with detectives Sunday evening and were in shock.

"The [victim] had been shot, execution-style, blood gushing everywhere," Visco told Philly.com. He added that he spoke with Rabb Sunday night, who was 'devastated."

Police told Fox 29 the shooter appears to be a black man, described as 6’0’ wearing a light grey hoodie.

A motive for the shooting remains unclear. No arrests have been made.

Dispute eyed in killing of man near candidate in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA — Police are trying to find out whether the shooting deaths of two friends hours apart in northwest Philadelphia — one of them while he was talking to an aide for a state House candidate — are related to a conflict between two groups.

Homicide Capt. James Clark said 21-year-old Alex Cherry was shot Sunday afternoon as he was standing outside a West Oak Lane store with several other young men and talking to an employee of candidate Chris Rabb.

The candidate had been talking to Cherry earlier but officials said he had stepped away before the shooting.

The shooter “came around the corner, fired one time, striking him (Cherry) in the back of the head, and then stood over (the) top of him and fired several more times,” Clark said.

“He had his whole life in front of him,” Rabb said later that night, adding that Cherry was looking forward to working at his local polling place on Tuesday.

Four hours after the shooting and a couple of blocks away, 18-year-old Elijah Frazier was gunned down by someone who got out of a red sport utility vehicle and began firing into a crowd, police said. Frazier was hit in the back and ran to a Chinese takeout restaurant. Emergency crews found him there and rushed him to a hospital, where he died. A 17-year-old also wounded was hospitalized in stable condition.

Clark said the only firm connection between the slayings so far is that the two victims were friends and lived in the area. But both were also members of a group of young men that had an ongoing dispute with a group from another area, Clark said. He said there was video of the first slaying but not so far of the second.

Rabb, a Democrat running for the 200th House district representing the Mount Airy, Chestnut Hill and Oak Lane neighborhoods, offered his condolences to the families of victims of violence. In a statement late Sunday night, he said that when he spoke to Cherry, he was impressed by his enthusiasm for the political process.

“This impressed us and we were in the process of encouraging him to join our campaign,” Rabb said. “Moments after he gave us his contact information, he was murdered

Well, is Black Lives Matter gonna show up in Philly?
A Black man was shot by another Black man while speaking to a Black politician. Does Black Lives Matter in this case? Nope!




* This homicide doesn't appear to have anything to do with the political candidate... BUT, it may guarantee his election with a sympathy vote *

Yea, makes me sick.
