Following a fatal shooting early Monday outside a popular bar and restaurant in Northern Liberties, a neighborhood group said it was planning to meet with city officials and police to talk about possible measures to increase public safety in the area.
Matt Ruben, president of the Northern Liberties Neighbors Association, said that members of his group were stunned by the shooting of an Upper Darby man after an altercation inside PYT at the Piazza at Schmidts shortly after midnight.
Maurice Kimble, 24, of South Fairview Road, was shot twice in the chest and once in the groin on North Hancock Street near the bar. He was taken to Hahnemann University Hospital and was pronounced dead at 2:40 a.m. No arrests were reported.
