Police arrived to find Myles unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was rushed to Temple University Hospital and pronounced dead at 11:15 PM EST. Investigators determined the victim and the suspect, 23-year-old Nicholas Iaderosa, were known to each other and had planned to meet that night.

Iaderosa was arrested and charged with murder and related offenses.
