An investigation is underway after a lawyer from the Philippines who was visiting Philly with his mother was shot and killed while the two were inside an Uber in University City:
John Albert Laylo, 35, and his mother were inside an Uber traveling along the 200 block of South 38th Street at 4:10 a.m. Saturday when a black vehicle, possibly a Nissan Maxima, pulled up behind them. The vehicle then pulled along the driver's side of the Uber and a gunman inside fired multiple shots, striking the Uber. The vehicle then fled the scene.
Laylo was shot once in the back of the head. Responding Penn Police officers took Laylo to the Penn Presbyterian Medical Center. He was later pronounced dead at 10:33 a.m. on Sunday. No arrests have been made and police have not released information on any suspects. They also have not yet revealed whether Laylo was targeted or an innocent bystander. They continue to investigate and are searching for surveillance video.
