Hello, everybody! I'm back with your fresh edition of the Philadelphia Daily. Follow along to find out the most important things happening in town these days.

But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny; windy, cooler. High: 66 Low: 50.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Philadelphia who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Philadelphia Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories today in Philadelphia:

1. A 23-year-old man has been shot and killed near Drexel University. Police were looking for the killer as of Thursday evening, who shot off multiple bullets. One of the shots went into the window of an occupied apartment complex, but no one was harmed. (CBS Philly)
2. A teen has been wounded in a shooting in Main Line on Wednesday. The teen had a gunshot wound to the eye and was taken to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for treatment. The Lower Merion School District Superintendent Khalid Mumin sent an email to parents, notifying them “some students may have been involved” in the shooting. (NBC 10 Philadelphia)
3. Dave Sholler is shifting roles and will no longer serve as the Sixers Executive Vice President. Instead, he will be serving as the Chief Communications Officer for Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment. Sholler will also retain the Chief Communications Officer role for the Philadelphia 76ers.
