Xiao-Ding Li, 31, was shot and killed while working behind the counter at his father’s store, JD Hoyu Grocery on the 900 block of Porter Street in South Philadelphia. The shooting occurred about 5:48 p.m. on January 7, 2020 when two masked men entered; one produced a gun and fired, striking Li in the chest. The assailants fled without taking anything. Li was found face down behind the counter and later pronounced dead at Jefferson Hospital.

Police reviewed surveillance footage and interviewed neighbors seeking the two suspects, described as men wearing black hooded winter coats, black pants, black shoes, and black ski masks. On January 21, 2020, 18-year-old Tyseem Murray was arrested and charged with Xiao-Ding Li’s murder and with the October 14, 2019 killing of 15-year-old Zyqueire Echevarria; charges included murder, criminal conspiracy, robbery, and reckless endangerment. Li was recently married and raising two young sons while helping his parents run the store.

Does anyone have information about the events at JD Hoyu Grocery that evening or about the surveillance footage investigators reviewed?
