Police are seeking three older teenagers in the shooting death of a man gunned down while walking his dog in northwest Philadelphia last week.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the 17- to 19-year-old suspects are being sought in last Thursday’s death of 51-year-old Jim Stuhlman.

Police said he was found dead in the Overbrook section of the city with his labradoodle Molly next to him.

Capt. James Clark of the police homicide division said investigators believe that the slaying occurred during a random attempted robbery.
