Detectives released surveillance tape Tuesday showing the March 2021 killing of a 55-year-old man in North Philadelphia.

In the video, the gunman, who has not been identified, appears to walk up behind the victim and shoot him after he left a house on the 1900 block of Page Street. The fatal shooting happened at around 8 p.m. on Monday, March 29.

Several shots can be heard on the tape, and police at the time said the man died about 10 minutes later.
