Miguel Colon, 19, was shot and killed on April 13, 2016, in the Juniata Park neighborhood of Philadelphia. He was found inside his silver Honda CRV on the 4000 block of Howard Street after officers arrived about 1:59 p.m.; he was transported to Temple University Hospital and pronounced dead that afternoon. Detectives say Colon was struck by gunfire to his head, chest, and arm after pulling onto the block and stopping his vehicle for an unknown reason. With his window down, an unknown gunman approached and opened fire.

No weapon or shell casings were recovered at the scene despite several surveillance cameras on the street. The shooting shocked a neighborhood with many resident children and a nearby daycare. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. If anyone has information about what happened that afternoon or saw activity on Howard Street around 1:59 p.m., contact the Philadelphia Police Department.
