During the struggle, the male was shot once in the neck.
“We went inside the apartment where the male and female both lived and you could clearly see there was a struggle,” Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said.

The woman told police where they could locate the gun, Small said. Officers found the weapon in the grass outside the apartment.
