Omar Alexander Freeman Jr., 26, was shot multiple times and killed on the evening of March 6, 2022, on North Norwood Street in the East Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia. Police described the shooting as a targeted attack and say Freeman sustained numerous gunshot wounds to his body.

Investigators believe the killing may have been retaliatory. Shortly before the shooting, Freeman was reportedly involved in a violent altercation and an armed robbery at a nearby corner store, an incident investigators have linked to the later attack. Philadelphia Police opened a homicide investigation and reported a major development on April 18, 2022, when a suspect was taken into custody; authorities said the case was solved and awaiting trial, though few details about the suspect or specific charges have been released.

Did anyone in East Germantown see activity on North Norwood Street that night or have information about the corner store altercation?
