Jayden Lucas, an 18-year-old Black male, was shot in the back and killed on September 16, 2020, while playing basketball at Roberto Clemente Playground on the 1800 block of Wallace Street in Philadelphia. The shooting happened about 8:10 p.m. when a group of gunmen opened fire. Jayden was taken to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital but was pronounced dead at the scene.

The attack left multiple victims: 21-year-old Khallid Henderson was also fatally shot; two 19-year-olds were injured and treated at the hospital; and an 18-year-old male was shot in both hips and survived in stable condition. Investigators recovered 55 shell casings at the scene, suggesting multiple firearms were used. No arrests have been announced and the Philadelphia Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward.

Jayden was remembered by friends and family for his love of basketball, his kind-hearted nature, and his involvement in the community. Does anyone who knew Jayden or was at Roberto Clemente Playground that night have information that could help investigators?
