Two 19-year-old men are dead after separate shootings in Philadelphia. The first victim was gunned down on the 2100 block of North 30th Street. Investigators are not sure if the victim was the intended target, or if he was hit by a stray bullet. Philadelphia police say they are looking for two suspects. In Southwest Philadelphia, another 19-year-old man was shot to death at the Connell Recreation Center. The victim was found on the grass near 65th and Elmwood just after 10pm Monday night. Investigators found a handgun nearby. Police say the gunmen got away in a dark car.

Police are investigating a home invasion on the 2100 block of Tyson Avenue in the Oxford Circle neighborhood of Philadelphia. A man and a woman were inside of the home in Northeast Philadelphia when officials say two men broke into the home, one of them carrying a shotgun. The suspects escaped the home before police could apprehend them, but a shotgun and a large bag were left behind. Police say no one was injured in the home invasion, and nothing was reported taken.
Authorities are still searching for the suspects.

A Philadelphia man is set to admit he followed his wife on her evening run and strangled her as they argued over his texts to another woman. Prosecutors say Christopher Murray has agreed to plead guilty Tuesday to third-degree murder and serve a 20- to 40-year sentence. Authorities say the body of 46-year-old Connie Murray was found the next morning in a park near their home. She is survived by two school-age daughters.
