Tauhid Collins was 17 when he was shot and killed on the night of February 15, 2019, on the 5800 block of Angora Terrace in Southwest Philadelphia. Known publicly as Tata Chapo, he was an aspiring rapper with local support. Neighbors heard gunfire around 10:45 p.m.; bystanders found him badly wounded and police placed him into a patrol vehicle and rushed him to the hospital, where he died of multiple gunshot wounds.

His mother, Nikia Collins, had graduated from nursing school that same day; a photo taken with Tauhid after her graduation became one of the last family images of him. Relatives described him as respectful, loving, the oldest of five children, and someone who helped care for his younger siblings. A vigil on Angora Terrace two days later drew more than 100 people; during the gathering Nikia Collins urged against retaliation.

Police said they were searching for the person responsible but reports did not identify a suspect or motive and no arrests were publicly reported. Does anyone who lived on Angora Terrace in February 2019 have information that could help explain what happened that night?
