“I’mma bust your a–.”
That’s what a gunman said seconds before he opened fire on a man, killing him in the doorway of his home last week in the Wissinoming section of Northeast Philadelphia.
Authorities released surveillance footage of the incident Thursday in the hopes that the public will be able to identify the suspect.
Delante Johnson, 48, heard a knock at his door at around 11:15 p.m. Monday, Feb. 15, and was confronted by the gunman at the entrance to his house on the 4000 block of Creston Street.
A doorbell camera captured the shooter threatening Johnson, telling him to move and “put it up.” He shot Johnson several times and ran away from the scene with another man, possibly an accomplice.
Police described the gunman as a tall, thin male who was wearing a dark-colored jacket and face mask at the time of the shooting. The other suspect was wearing a dark-colored jacket with light-colored logos on the chest, back and arms, authorities said.
