Tommie Frazier III, an 18-year-old African American male, was killed on July 21, 2021, in Philadelphia. He was sitting in a car with friends at 56th and Vine Streets, preparing to go to a nearby basketball court, when a gunman approached the vehicle and opened fire. The shooting also killed 16-year-old Kaylin Johnson.

Authorities investigated the drive-by shooting and ultimately arrested 22-year-old Arshad Curry in connection with this attack and at least one other teen’s death; Curry was later convicted and sentenced. The killings prompted a vigil and renewed calls from community members and leaders to confront gun violence affecting young people in the city.

If anyone knew Tommie, Kaylin, or the circumstances around that night, please share information that could help the families or the wider community.
