Angel L. Torres III, 22, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of Sunday, December 5, 2021, in Philadelphia’s Fairhill neighborhood. The shooting happened at about 4:27 a.m. on the 3200 block of North Front Street as Torres and friends were leaving an after-hours club. A blue or green Toyota Rav 4 with dark tinted windows drove by and an occupant opened fire with an automatic weapon. Torres and his longtime friend Brian Madera, also 22, were struck and later died; a 21-year-old male was critically wounded.

Born January 22, 1999, Torres worked as a warehouse employee for Sysco and had attended Roman Catholic High School and Northeast Catholic High School. He was a devoted Philadelphia sports fan with a noted memory for statistics. Philadelphia police transported the victims to Temple University Hospital and say the investigation is ongoing; no arrests have been announced and a significant reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone knew Angel, Brian, or the circumstances that night, can you share information that might help the investigation?
