Lafayette Holt, 32, was shot and killed in Philadelphia in the early morning of November 6, 2021. Neighbors called police at 1:07 a.m. after Holt was found on a porch on the 6000 block of Regent Street; he was living on South Yewdall Street. He was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center but was pronounced dead at 1:34 a.m.

The medical examiner listed a single gunshot wound to the lower back as the cause of death. No weapon was reported recovered at the scene in initial accounts. The Philadelphia Police Department later arrested a suspect and considers the case solved, but legal proceedings are still pending and few details about motive or the suspect’s identity have been released.

If anyone saw activity on Regent Street or South Yewdall Street that night, or has information about Holt’s death, please come forward.
