Ammar Hassan was 17 when he was shot and killed on the evening of August 14, 2019, on the 2300 block of Bambrey Terrace in South Philadelphia. Police say officers found him on the sidewalk just before 7:30 p.m. with a gunshot wound to the head; he was taken to Penn-Presbyterian Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Hassan was a student at West Catholic Preparatory High School who worked with his family’s home improvement business and had participated in the WorkReady program. He was reportedly an expectant father; his daughter was born in February 2020. Investigators say he arrived on Bambrey Terrace in a minivan with another man, knocked on a door, and later paced outside. The van returned with at least two people, and after a 10 to 15 minute conversation one person shot Hassan in the back of the head. Police found 31 packets of heroin and $320, some counterfeit, on him. No arrests or public suspect identifications have been announced; a reward of up to $20,000 is being offered.

Does anyone who knew Ammar or who was in the Bambrey Terrace area that evening have information to share with investigators?
