On the evening of December 15, 2021, at about 5:35 p.m., gunfire erupted on the 3100 block of Barnett Street in Philadelphia. Twenty-three-year-old Tymir Johnson, a Black man who lived on Elbridge Street, was found in the street next to a white Chevy Malibu with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital and did not survive. Two other men were wounded that night: a 22-year-old shot in the legs and treated at the same hospital, and a 29-year-old taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center with a leg wound; both were reported in stable condition.

Investigators later tied this shooting into a larger spree across Northeast and Northwest Philadelphia by using ballistic matches, surveillance video, cellphone records and social media analysis. A vehicle that appeared at multiple scenes helped link the incidents to a small group. An arrest followed, and authorities alleged members of the 6600 gang were targeting a rival crew in the string of attacks that included Johnson’s killing.

Does anyone have information about Johnson’s life in the neighborhood or the white Chevy Malibu seen at the scene?
