PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia police are seeking tips after someone in a black, four-door sedan with tinted windows opened fire on a crowd of people surrounding the tour bus of rapper French Montana after a concert in Philadelphia.

One person is dead and another is hurt after the shooting, which happened around 11:30 p.m. Thursday at a hotel near Penn's Landing.

Homicide Capt. James Clark said Friday police are looking for anyone who may have witnessed the person firing shots from a passenger window. He says police don't know if the rapper or his entourage were targeted, but added that they are co-operating.

Police are identifying the man who was killed as 26-year-old Jowann King, of Flushing, N.Y.

Messages left with the rapper's publicist weren't immediately returned.
