Two women and two men, whose identities police would not confirm, were found in a home in the 5100 block of Malcolm Street with gunshot wounds to the head, police said. Medics pronounced them dead at 12:21 p.m.

It was the largest number of victims in a Philadelphia homicide this year.

“Sadly, all four of these individuals were executed — there’s no ifs, ands, or buts about it,” Police Commissioner Richard Ross said. “This is an absolutely evil thing to do. … There is no way in the world people should have met their demise this way.”

Nadirrah Smith, 25, said she knew one of the victims and that he “was a good dude.” Crying as she stood next to crime scene tape, she said the man had two daughters and had recently moved into the house. As a result, she said, not many people knew where he lived, and she therefore believed that “this had to be a setup.”

The deaths pushed the city over 300 homicide victims for the year — more than the year-end totals in 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2013, according to police statistics.
