PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — A man has been charged with the deadly shooting at SEPTA’s City Hall Station.
The shooting happened around 7:30 a.m. Friday on the northbound platform of the Broad Street Line.
A cashier reported hearing a gunshot and police said surveillance video showed commuters fleeing the station.
A 27-year-old man was killed after he was shot in the chest.
The suspect, 27-year-old Dawiz Idris Munsion, later turned himself in to authorities.
SEPTA spokesperson Andrew Busch said the gunman is a permitted gun owner, and surveillance video shows an altercation before the shooting.
Busch said it’s unknown if the gunman is claiming self-defense or if the suspect and victim knew each other.
Trains were bypassing the station in both directions while the investigation was underway.
“Getting on the subway, I did not know until we got to Race and Vine that we had to get off at Walnut and Locust because somebody got shot down here,” said Fallyn Cummings from North Philadelphia.
Munsion has since been charged with murder and other offenses.
