No arrests were made in the killings. Both victims were listed in stable condition at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, according to police. Rivera is not related to the victim in the Orkney Street shooting, police said. Police declined to release their identities because of the ongoing investigation. Police are searching for the gunman who opened fire on the cab driver.
Police believe the shooter was an angry boyfriend.
Police say two men were scuffling over a comment made to one man's girlfriend. When one of the men pistol-whipped the other, the cab driver saw the fight and interceded to try to break it up, police said. The cabbie was taken to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, where he underwent surgery yesterday and was listed in stable condition, according to a hospital spokesman. Payne was shot four times, suffering wounds to the left hand, buttocks, knee and inner thigh. He was listed in stable condition at Temple University Hospital yesterday.
