Witnesses and the victims reported that gunfire erupted just after midnight on the 5200 block of Marlowe St. and originated from an older model BMW with a black cloth roof, police said.

No description of the weapon was available.

The teen victim was taken in stable condition to Hahnemann University hospital.

His current condition is not known. ••
