Diniar Khawyne Camp, 26, was killed in Philadelphia in the early hours of August 6, 2022. Camp had returned from Nevada to attend the funeral of a close friend who’d been shot in late July, and after funeral services he went with friends and family to a North Philadelphia hookah lounge. He offered to walk a young woman he knew to her home on the 1900 block of North 19th Street. As they approached the residence, a man wearing a ski mask emerged from a nearby truck and opened fire. Camp, who was legally carrying a firearm, was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene.

Police identified Marcus Michael Whitehead, 22 at the time, as the suspect and issued a warrant charging him with murder and weapons offenses. He remained a fugitive for more than a year and was later arrested in Maryland. In March 2026 Whitehead, then 25, made his first Philadelphia court appearance on the murder charge; the woman who was with Camp testified that Whitehead had sent her threatening messages and described the shooting.

Who knew Diniar or was in that neighborhood on August 6, 2022 and can share what they remember?
