Zamir Syrus, 20, was fatally shot on June 28, 2022, on the 6400 block of North Broad Street in Philadelphia. Officers arrived about 10:22 p.m. to find him with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center and died that night.

Investigators reported Zamir was carrying a semi-automatic handgun and a small plastic bag with live ammunition when he was shot. Surveillance video reportedly shows a man later identified as 22-year-old Derrick Jones following Zamir off a SEPTA bus and shooting him multiple times. Jones, who is from the West Oak Lane neighborhood, was arrested on July 14, 2022, and charged with murder and related offenses; the case was pending trial.
