PHILADELPHIA — A member of the popular former Philadelphia singing group Brotherly Love, which had celebrity fans and once performed for President Barack Obama, was fatally shot outside his South Philadelphia home Wednesday night, police said.
Joelil Foy, 26, was sitting on the steps of his rowhouse on the 1800 block of Sigel Street just before 7 p.m. when a gunman approached and began shooting, police said. Foy was struck in the neck, and was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where he died about 20 minutes later. The shooter was not apprehended.
Chief Inspector Frank Vanore said Thursday that investigators were not yet sure of a motive, and were still collecting evidence including surveillance video in an attempt to piece together what happened.
