Jeffrey Johnson, 58, was fatally shot inside the Delmar Bar & Lounge in Philadelphia’s Germantown on March 25, 2019. The bar, on the 300 block of West Chelten Avenue, was nearly empty at about 2 a.m. when a man who had posed as a customer waited until only the bartender and Johnson remained. Surveillance footage shows the assailant ordering Johnson to lock the door; when Johnson hesitated, the gunman fired a single shot that struck him in the chest.

After shooting Johnson, the suspect checked the victim’s pockets, took about $200 from the bartender, and fled. Johnson was taken to Einstein Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. His sister described him as a quiet, gentle man who would have been humbled by the community’s response; friends and family held a vigil in his memory.

Philadelphia police identified and arrested a suspect, Robert Lumpsin, 25, who was taken into custody on March 22 on the 700 block of Race Street and charged with Johnson’s murder. Does anyone who knew Jeffrey or was in the Germantown area that night have additional information to share?
