investigators say they found seven spent shell casings about 100 feet from where the victim was found. >> the fact that the shell casings were so far from where the victim was found and the victim was only shot one time, we're not sure at this time whether this victim was an intended target or whether or not he was hit way stray bullet. >> police are also reviewing surveillance video that captured two men running from the scene. ly. >> police are looking for a man wanted for app sexual assault yesterday in south philadelphia. and they think this is not his first attack. the victim of what they think was a prior assault is talking to "action news." vernon odom is lie at the special victims unit. good morning vernon. >> reporter: good morning special victims detectives are hunting for a home invasion suspect and sexual assault suspect who has been terrorizing the point breeze section of south philadelphia. his latest attack before sunup on memorial day and an earlier victim spoke with our own dann
