Lionel Samuels, an 18-year-old Black male, was shot and killed on August 18, 2021, in the courtyard of the Simon Garden Apartments on the 6700 block of Musgrave Street in Philadelphia. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene after he was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds; the incident was reported at about 8:54 p.m. A witness said a struggle occurred before the shooting.

A suspect was seen wearing all black and a black surgical mask; that person fled southbound on Musgrave Street and then eastbound on Phil Ellena Street. A second victim nearby was found unconscious with a head injury but had no gunshot wounds and was taken to the hospital. No arrests have been announced. The City of Philadelphia has offered up to a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction, and the Philadelphia Police and Citizens Crime Commission continue to ask anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see the suspect or hear anything that night that could help investigators?
