Four found ‘executed' in West Philly basement - One of the deceased described as a 'good dude.'
[Philly Inquirer] Nadirrah Smith said a close friend phoned her about 7:30 p.m. Sunday, and before he hung up he said he'd call her back. He never did.

A distraught Smith said Monday that the man was one of four people found fatally shot, execution-style, in the basement of a home under renovation in the Cedar Park section of West Philadelphia.

Two women and two men, whose identities police would not confirm, were found in the home in the 5100 block of Malcolm Street with gunshot wounds to the head, police said. Medics pronounced them dead at 12:21 p.m.

It was the largest number of victims in a Philadelphia homicide this year.

"Sadly, all four of these individuals were executed ‐ there's no ifs, ands, or buts about it," Police Commissioner Richard Ross said. "This is an absolutely evil thing to do. ... There is no way in the world people should have met their demise this way."

Smith, 25, said she believed her friend's brother was also one of the victims, but said she did not know his name or who the women in the basement might have been.

Smith said her friend "was a good dude." Crying as she stood next to crime scene tape, she said the man had two daughters and had recently moved into the house. As a result, she said, not many people knew where he lived, and she therefore believed that "this had to be a setup."
