On the evening of September 16, 2020, 21-year-old Khalid Henderson was shot and killed while playing basketball at Roberto Clemente Park in Philadelphia’s Spring Garden neighborhood. According to police, three gunmen entered the playground, opened fire and specifically targeted Henderson; they chased him around the court and shot him multiple times in the torso. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

At least 55 shots were fired in the attack. Four other people were struck; 18-year-old Jayden Lucas was also killed and three teenagers were wounded but survived. Henderson, an aspiring photographer who had been set to begin classes at the Community College of Philadelphia, was remembered by family as kind and generous. Dozens attended a balloon release in his honor.

Although more than 15 people were in the park and surveillance video reportedly captured the three shooters, police say the gunmen have not been arrested. A reward of up to $20,000 is being offered for information that leads to arrest and conviction. If anyone has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
