Other footage obtained by Fox Philadelphia showed Dixon standing at a pump when the sedan pulled up and the men opened fire. Dixon tried to run from the gunfire. 

He was struck and taken to Albert Einstein Hospital where he died, the Philadelphia Police Department said. The suspects were in a red 2009 Mazda 3 sedan with New Jersey license plates. 

After firing several rounds, the pair got back into the vehicle and fled. No arrests have been made and no weapons were recovered. 

Dixon's mother, Lisa, told the news outlet her son was a loving father with a 5-year-old daughter.
