Justin Robert Smith, 20, of Philadelphia was fatally shot on July 7, 2022, on the 1900 block of 68th Avenue. Officers arrived about 10:48 p.m. and found Justin and another young man, Tyheim Tucker, lying in the street with gunshot wounds; both were pronounced dead at the scene.

Police arrested 21-year-old Derrick Jones on July 14, 2022, charging him with first-degree murder and related offenses. According to reports, Jones allegedly followed Justin and Tyheim after they got off a bus, caught up with them and shot both victims. Investigators say no clear motive or prior connection between Jones and the victims has been established.

If anyone knew Justin’s routines or saw activity near 68th Avenue on the night of July 7, information could help the investigation.
