Kahlief Myrick, a 16-year-old junior at South Philadelphia High School, was shot and killed in the early morning of February 18, 2021. Known for an outgoing personality and for starting a clothing line called Immortal Never Die, he was described by his mother as a beloved son, brother and friend who loved to be around people.

Around 4:00 a.m. Kahlief and a cousin were inside a 7-Eleven on 70th Street in Southwest Philadelphia when they had a brief verbal exchange with a much older man. After that man left the store, he waited outside; when Kahlief stepped out, he was shot. Police found Kahlief at the scene and he died at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center about an hour later.

Investigators identified Donald Whitingham as a suspect and at one point sought him as a fugitive; a warrant was issued and law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Marshals, assisted in the search. An arrest in the case was made on July 19, 2024, and the matter is pending trial.

Did anyone see Kahlief at the 7-Eleven that morning or have information about the interaction that preceded the shooting?
