Rodney Hargrove was 20 when he was fatally shot on the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility grounds in Philadelphia in the early hours of March 18, 2021. He had been held at the jail for about a week on theft and weapons charges; a bail company posted his $200,000 bond and he was released around 1:10 a.m. After being dropped at a SEPTA bus stop across the street to await family, a dark-colored vehicle approached. Hargrove ran back onto the jail grounds but was pursued through a raised security gate.

Near the main entrance, occupants of the car shot him multiple times; medics pronounced him dead at the scene. Police described the shooting as a case of mistaken identity and later charged a 16-year-old, Ameen Hurst, in connection with the slaying. Hargrove’s family filed a wrongful death and civil rights lawsuit after his death.

Did anyone see the vehicle or the suspects that night who can help fill gaps in the timeline?
