Christopher Thomas, a 45-year-old Black man, was killed on April 30, 2020, in Philadelphia. He was found lying in the street on Annin Street with multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where he died that night.

Police described Thomas as an innocent bystander caught in a drive-by shooting. Investigators said three people were involved: one person driving and two others who opened fire. The shooting was reportedly tied to a dispute over a girl, and Christopher was not the intended target.

Several arrests and prison sentences were later reported in connection with the case. The loss has had a profound effect on Christopher’s family; his mother, Damian Thomas, described him as loving, smart, respectful, and full of dreams. If anyone has information about Christopher’s life or the events that night, please share what you know.
