On October 31, 2022, 20-year-old Jabarr Richards, a Black male who lived on South Opal Street in Philadelphia, was found lying in the street on the 5300 block of Greenway Avenue with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and pronounced deceased.

The death was investigated as a homicide. Detectives sought information from the public, and community advocates have kept the case in the spotlight. A significant development came on June 11, 2024, when a suspect was arrested and charged with murder and related offenses; the case is currently pending trial and the suspect’s identity has not been released.

Anyone who knew Jabarr or who has information about what happened that night is asked to contact the Philadelphia Police Department.
