Illicit drugs may have played a role in a home invasion-style murder in Frankford last Saturday night, according to a police source.
Investigators found drug paraphernalia and bundled cash inside an apartment on the 4600 block of Penn St. where an intruder shot a resident man, 41, fatally at about 10 p.m., the source said. The invader reportedly kicked in the front door, shot the victim, went outside and fought a witness on the porch. He dropped a gun and cell phone in the scuffle.
