Joseph Toms, 33, was shot and killed on October 28, 2020, in South Philadelphia while waiting for a parking spot outside his home on South Bouvier Street. Surveillance footage showed two masked suspects approach his white work van and fire into it, striking Toms in the chest. He was taken to Jefferson University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police describe the suspects as wearing dark-colored sweatshirts and pants; one sweatshirt had a brightly colored logo. They fled in a white sedan with dark rims, tinted windows, and a dented front left panel. The City of Philadelphia has posted a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. The case remains unsolved and the family continues to seek justice.

If anyone has information about the shooting or the vehicle and suspects, please share what is known with the Philadelphia Police Department.
