Dwight Dixon was found shot multiple times in the city's Fairmount section late Tuesday morning.

A spokesman at Hahnemann University Hospital said Dixon, 33, remained in critical condition Wednesday.

Police have not made an arrest in the case.

Dixon, who sued Harrison after his criminal case was dismissed, was shot seven times while sitting in a parked rental car, the New York Daily News reported. He was shot in the arm, chest and stomach. The Philadelphia Daily News reported that Dixon was found leaning against the car after the incident.

Dixon reportedly told police that arrived on the scene that he believed Harrison had hired someone to shoot him because of the prior dispute. Authorities are investigating whether Harrison is linked, a police source told the New York Daily News.

The Philadelphia Daily News, however, says a police source has indicated that investigators have no evidence to link Harrison to the shooting and no suspects.

The report out of Philadelphia says Dixon was rushed into surgery at the hospital and detectives had yet to talk to him.

Witnesses reported a hooded gunman, about 6-feet tall, wearing blue jeans and white sneakers.

Harrison was released by the Colts after the season and is currently a free agent.
