Wesley Rodwell was a 20-year-old Black musician from Philadelphia who lived on North Darien Street. On the afternoon of May 25, 2022, around 2:00 p.m., Philadelphia police found him lying face down in the 1600 block of West Erie Avenue. He had been shot multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators tied the killing to a grand jury probe of violent street groups in North Philadelphia and focused on a possible motive connected to the drill rap scene. Prosecutors alleged Rodwell had recently posted a music video that taunted a rival group known as Blumberg/Black Flag, and that his murder was retaliation. Murder charges were filed against three men: Dymer Purnell, Deshawn Kinsler, and Tyvine Jones. Jones was later arrested in Delaware County by the U.S. Marshals Service on first-degree murder and related charges; with his capture the three accused are in custody and awaiting trial.

Who knew Wesley, his music, or his movements in North Philadelphia around May 2022 and can help fill in details?
