Man executed in alley near Juniata Park home

A man, 46, who was a known drug dealer, according to some reports, was dragged out of his Juniata Park home by two men and executed in a nearby rear alley, police said.

The man was discovered at 11:29 a.m. on the 3900 block of Palmetto Street with multiple gunshot wounds to the head, back and arm. He was pronounced dead on the scene.

Police are looking for two black men who fled in a white four-door vehicle.

According to some reports, the man was abducted before the suspects brought him back to his home looking for drugs or money, where a struggle occurred. He was then taken out back and shot, reportedly with his hands bound by plastic zip ties.
