On the afternoon of April 11, 2019, 29-year-old Raymond Grimes III was shot and killed on the 800 block of West Somerset Street in Philadelphia’s Fairhill neighborhood. The shooting happened about 4:50 p.m. as Grimes was walking to his parked car; an individual in black clothing and a mask chased him and opened fire. Grimes was struck multiple times, taken to Temple University Hospital, and pronounced dead at 5:08 p.m. Authorities later reported he had been shot fourteen times with a .40 caliber handgun equipped with an extended magazine.

The investigation identified Khalid Jackson as a suspect after a witness, Hascir Walton, who knew both Grimes and Jackson, told the Philadelphia Homicide Unit Jackson was the shooter. Nearby surveillance video was reported to show the shooter firing with the left hand. Jackson was arrested and later convicted of first-degree murder and related offenses in connection with Grimes’s death; appeals were filed and a decision affirming the sentence was recorded on September 13, 2022.

Did anyone in Fairhill see Raymond that afternoon or notice suspicious activity on West Somerset Street around 4:50 p.m.?
