Jamil Howell, 32, of Philadelphia died on March 26, 2019 after being shot during a violent altercation in the Frankford neighborhood. Howell physically confronted his ex-girlfriend and then crashed his car into her vehicle, causing that car to hit two others. The current boyfriend fired multiple shots, striking Howell in the chest and torso. Howell was taken to Temple University Hospital and pronounced dead at 9:32 p.m.

The gunman fled but was taken into custody about a mile away and is cooperating with investigators as they determine whether charges will be filed or if the shooting was in self-defense. Howell’s landlord was later arrested on allegations of attempting to sell Howell’s valuables. His father, Andrew Howell, is an anti-violence activist and founder of Race for Peace; he described Jamil as a hardworking father of two. Does anyone have information about the incident or about Jamil’s last known movements that could help the investigation?
