Fifteen-year-old Simone-Monea Rogers was shot while playing basketball with her brother and friends at Jerome Brown Playground in Philadelphia on the evening of August 17, 2021. Police found her lying face-down on the court at about 8:53 p.m.; she had been struck twice in the head and was taken to Temple University Hospital, where she died the next day. Surveillance footage reportedly shows her dribbling before collapsing.

Simone-Monea lived a block from the playground and was well known in her neighborhood. Investigators reviewed footage and sought information about a silver vehicle seen in the area, but no arrests had been announced and the case remained unsolved. Her death was counted as the 167th child gun violence victim in Philadelphia that year.

Does anyone who was at Jerome Brown Playground that night or who recognizes the silver vehicle have information that could help investigators?
