Samir Jefferson was 14 and a 9th-grade student at Thomas Edison High School when he was shot to death on November 29, 2021. He was waiting for a bus at Rising Sun and Wyoming avenues in the Feltonville neighborhood of Philadelphia at about 3:30 p.m. when multiple gunmen chased and attacked him; he was unarmed and was hit by 18 gunshot wounds despite attempts to flee.

Investigators later identified several suspects and said the motive was still under investigation, with possible links to social media taunting. The Philadelphia Police Department, assisted by federal partners, pursued the case and authorities reported arrests in connection with the killing. Family, classmates, and the community have mourned Samir and marked his memory with tributes and memorials.

Are there details from that afternoon or the neighborhood that anyone can share to help fill in what happened?
