The 37-year-old victim was transported to Jefferson University Hospital-Center City, where he was later pronounced dead.

There is no word yet on the victim’s identity or what may have led to the shooting.

Police say the shooter fled the scene, leaving the bus and heading into the Snyder Station along the Broad Street Line.

No weapons were recovered at the scene.

Investigators are still searching for the suspect. Anyone with information is asked to contact the police at 215-686-3334 or call the tipline at 215-686-TIPS.

Police say there is a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case.

This is the second shooting involving a SEPTA bus this week.

Police say they are expected to survive.
