A 25-year-old man shot last month in Cherry Hill has died from his injuries, and officers were investigating the discovery of a decomposing body in a vacant Pigtown rowhouse.
Larry Griffin, 25, was walking in the 2900 block of Spelman Road at about 3 p.m. on May 22 when two unknown men drove up in a newer-model Dodge Magnum with tinted windows, chrome rims and a North Carolina tag, police said.
The men chased Griffin and began shooting with a semiautomatic handgun, striking him in both legs and his abdomen. When police arrived at the scene, they saw Griffin lying on the ground with a crowd of people gathered around him.
He was listed in serious condition at Maryland Shock Trauma, where his condition deteriorated, police said. Griffin, of the 900 block of Coppin Court, was pronounced dead on June 14. The case remains open.
Detectives were also investigating the discovery of a decomposing body Wednesday afternoon inside a vacant rowhouse in the 1200 block of W. Cross St. No additional information was immediately available.
