On the late afternoon of August 29, 2021, 19-year-old Anthony Caliz was shot on the 3000 block of North Ella Street in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood. A Hispanic male, Caliz was struck twice — wounds to the head and chest — and was taken by private vehicle to Temple University Hospital–Episcopal campus, where he was pronounced dead that same afternoon.

Philadelphia police responded to the shooting and opened an investigation. Early reports indicated no arrests and no weapon recovered at the scene. As of early 2024, there have been no public announcements identifying suspects or charges and the case remained an open investigation.

If anyone was in that part of Kensington around 4 p.m. on August 29, 2021, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
