On October 5, 2020, 21-year-old Daejour Smith, a Black man and employee at a Lowe’s in South Philadelphia, was shot multiple times in the store’s parking lot in the 2100 block of South Christopher Columbus Boulevard. The shooting happened about 1 p.m. after an argument; police say the shooter approached in a stolen vehicle, exited the car, and began firing. Daejour was taken to Jefferson University Hospital and pronounced dead later that afternoon.

The motive for the argument that preceded the shooting remains unclear. No arrests have been announced and the Philadelphia Police Department is urging anyone with information to contact investigators. The City of Philadelphia is offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Daejour’s mother, Deborah Smith, has publicly described her grief and called for justice.

If anyone who worked with Daejour at Lowe’s or who was in the area that day has information, please share it with the Philadelphia Police Department.
