A pizza deliveryman was shot and killed during a robbery in the Belmont section of Philadelphia. Authorities say the victim, who works for Accu Pizza, was shot while making a delivery at 41st and Aspen Streets at about 10 p.m. Wednesday.
Police arrived to find 36-year-old Kouakou Jacques of Upper Darby lying in the street with a gunshot wound to the neck. Jacques was rushed to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania where he died.
Investigators said Jacques responded to a call for pizza, but found the address was a vacant lot where the suspect(s) were hiding out.
"It's very, very unfortunate that you have a hard-working individual that's just trying to make ends meet for his family, who's delivering pizza, and gets robbed and ultimately loses his life," Captain James Clark explained....
