On the night of July 9, 2022, 37-year-old Edwin R. Diaz-Rivera, a Hispanic man known as Poc, was shot in the 700 block of North 11th Street in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Police found Diaz-Rivera with apparent gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead at about 11:40 p.m. The Lehigh County Coroner’s Office later ruled the death a homicide.

Diaz-Rivera was a local barber, a committed family man and a celebrated athlete in the community. Officials have not released a motive or identified any suspects, and no arrests have been announced; the investigation remains open.

Did anyone who knew Edwin or who was in that neighborhood on July 9 have information that could help investigators?
