Philadelphia Police have released video of the purse snatching and murder of 26 year old Amber Long in Northern Liberties as she walked with her mother. A $30,000 reward is being offered for information about the shooter. Video shows two hooded men approach the women, grabbing the purses spinning Amber Long around and being shot in the chest. Anyone recognizing the car or the individuals in the video should contact police.

UPDATE 1/24/14: Reward has been increased to $37,000




Three fires overnight challenged firefighters in frigid temperatures trying to control the blazes. All three fires were within 5 miles of each other. An Upper Darby house fire killed one man and 12 cats while injuring a firefighter. In Kingsessing a fire injured one man with burns over 40% of his body. And at an Elmwood fire flames could be seen shooting from the roof. No injuries there. Causes are under investigation.

Kmart will close stores in the Gallery and in Northeast Philadelphia. Some believe the exit of Kmart may be good for the Gallery, anticipating a different retailer, possibly with a better image, will take the space. Almost 300 employees will be displaced by the closure of the two Kmart stores.

Sports
The 76ers have the Toronto Raptors tonight.

Weather
Mostly clear skies. 19 in Center City.
