PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A love triangle ended with murder in Philadelphia's Hunting Park section.

Police say a woman's new boyfriend shot her ex-boyfriend.

It happened on the 3400 block of North 5th Street at 1 a.m. on Friday.

The 26-year-old victim suffered from two gunshot wounds to his abdomen and one to his leg, and died from his injuries.

The shooter got away but police say they know the name of the 24-year-old suspect and are talking to witnesses.

"We are being told who the shooter is. We have his name, we don't have his last known address, but we know who we're looking for. So we're pretty comfortable he will be taken into custody shortly," said Chief Inspector Scott Small.

Detectives don't know what exactly led up to the shooting.

The names of those involved have not been released.
