Lameer Boyd, an 18-year-old Black male, was killed in West Philadelphia on the night of July 18, 2022. Officers found him unresponsive in the street near 52nd Street and Larchwood Avenue with numerous gunshot wounds; he was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and pronounced dead. Reports say over 50 bullets were fired at the scene and 34 struck Boyd.

He was an expecting father and was due to begin a program for young fathers the day after he was killed. His death was recorded as Philadelphia’s 300th homicide of 2022. Boyd’s family has urged the community to come forward, and the city is offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.

Is anyone in the area able to share information about that night or the people involved?
