Markeise Chandler, a 24-year-old Black man, was fatally shot on the evening of February 28, 2019, in Philadelphia’s Olney neighborhood. The shooting happened just before 6:15 p.m. on the 200 block of West Wellens Street. Police transported Chandler to Einstein Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 6:29 p.m.

Investigators identified and arrested Khyzee Brown in connection with the killing. Brown was charged with murder, and the case proceeded to trial. That trial became one of the first homicide trials in Philadelphia to be livestreamed, a decision that prompted debate about public access versus the potential effects on witnesses and the privacy of those involved. The proceedings drew attention to the challenges of prosecuting violent crimes and to the burden the process places on victims’ families.
