Zyqueire Echevarria was a 15-year-old Hispanic/Latino boy from Philadelphia who was shot on the evening of October 14, 2019, on the 1500 block of South Beulah Street in South Philadelphia. Police arrived about 7:11 p.m. and found him with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was taken to Jefferson University Hospital and died that same evening. Records list his birthdate as November 23, 2003.

Local coverage framed Zyqueire’s death as part of the city’s broader gun-violence crisis and described how the killing reverberated through families, neighbors, classmates, and anti-violence advocates. Philadelphia Police investigated the shooting for months and later arrested Tyseem Murray, an 18-year-old from Southwest Philadelphia, in connection with the killing; Murray was arrested in mid-January 2020 and was charged in both Zyqueire’s death and a separate January 2020 fatal shooting.

Does anyone have information about Zyqueire, where he spent time, or the events that night?
