On June 18, 2022, 18-year-old Ahmad N. Abrams was shot during a robbery in the 1400 block of North 27th Street in Philadelphia, near his grandparents’ home. The shooting happened around 12:10 p.m.; officers found Ahmad in the street with two gunshot wounds. He was taken to Temple University Hospital and died later that night.

Ahmad had just graduated high school with honors and was deciding between several college offers and possibly joining the Navy reserves. Family described him as a standout athlete and leader: he played basketball and boxed, had won a table tennis championship, counseled at the Athletic Rec Center, and worked summers at the Dell Music Center through a youth program. His death left a deep void for his family and community.

Does anyone who knew Ahmad or was in that neighborhood that day have information to share?
