An employee of an East Germantown bar was shot while taking out the trash Sunday night, police said. It happened shortly before midnight in front of Charlie B’s bar on Chelten Avenue, near Baynton Street.

Inspector D.F. Pace said someone in a pickup truck was waiting across the street from the bar and fired as soon as the worker came out.

“The vehicle may have been there for some time,” he said. “It seems like they may have been lying in wait for this individual. Now, whether this was the targeted individual or there was some mistaken identity, we don’t know.”

The victim was shot in the chest. He is in critical condition.

Danilo Cavalcante escaped from Chester County Prison on August 31 after being sentenced to life in prison without parole the week before for the brutal murder of his ex-girlfriend. For two weeks, neighbors in a quiet and mostly rural suburban county west of Philadelphia anxiously waited for the capture of the 34-year old Cavalcante, as state police launched a massive manhunt.
