PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police believe a deadly shooting in the city's Wynnefield Heights section stemmed from a love triangle.

It happened around 12:30 a.m. on Thursday at the Greenbriar Club apartments in the 3800 block of Conshohocken Avenue.

When police arrived, they found a 35-year-old man dead, still in bed, from a gunshot wound to his head and chest in a third-floor apartment.

Police believe a 34-year-old man who lived in an apartment building next door targeted the victim.

They took that neighbor into custody and say a woman who was at the scene was able to identify him as the killer.
