A graduate of Temple University was shot and killed while walking his dog near his home in Philadelphia’s Brewerytown neighborhood Wednesday night.
Milan Loncar was walking his dog, having just turned off 31st Street onto Jefferson Street just before 7 p.m., when two suspects approached the 25-year-old and tried to rob him, police said.
Surveillance video clearly captured the suspects reaching into Loncar's pockets, Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said. One of the suspects then opened fire, hitting the victim once in the chest.
"It didn't appear that there was any kind of fight," Small said when asked if the man was fighting back against the robbery.
Police found the man semi-conscious and bleeding from his chest, still gripping his dog's leash, investigators said.
