Homicide Investigating Underway After Man Found Shot Dead In Lower Merion

LOWER MERION TOWNSHIP, Pa. (CBS) – A homicide investigation is underway in Lower Merion after a man was found shot dead late Sunday night. Officers responded to a shooting on the 1400 block of Surrey Lane in the Wynnewood section, around 10:43 p.m.

Police found a man dead from gunshot wounds.

The scene stretches two blocks beyond Rockglen Road, which runs parallel to Haverford Road. Our Eyewitness News photographer found at least five bullet markers.

Overnight neighbors said on social media a police helicopter circled overhead shining a spotlight on the area. CBS3 learned a Philadelphia police helicopter was assisting in the investigation.

Police have not confirmed what led up to this deadly shooting.

A man who lives nearby says this is unlike this neighborhood.

“It’s quiet, everybody gets along, all different kinds of races, ethnicities, religions. Everybody is very peaceful, quiet, supportive of each other. It’s a great place to raise a kid,” the neighbor said.

Montgomery County Detectives and Lower Merion Police launched a joint investigation. An autopsy is scheduled for Monday at the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office.

No arrests have been made.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Lower Merion Township Police at 610-649-1000 or Montgomery County Detectives at 610-278-3368.
