Levan Kennedy was 18 when he was fatally shot on the morning of March 8, 2022, while stopped in his gold Chevy Malibu in the Oxford Circle section of Northeast Philadelphia. The shooting occurred around 8:45 a.m. on the 6400 block of Loretto Street, less than two blocks from his home. He was found inside the car with gunshot wounds to his head and left leg and was pronounced dead at Albert Einstein Medical Center at 9 a.m.

Known to family as Colin and to friends as Van, Levan was a gifted wordsmith, rapper and music producer with entrepreneurial goals, including a solar-powered vending machine business and real estate investments. After his father died when Levan was 13, he took on responsibility for his mother and younger sister; his family left Philadelphia shortly after his death. Authorities say surveillance footage shows a gunman firing from a passing SUV; no weapon has been recovered and no arrests have been announced. A reward of up to $20,000 is offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see the SUV or the shooter that morning, or have other information that could help identify those responsible?
