On the evening of Tuesday, November 6, 2018, 23-year-old Naseem Smith was found lying in the street on the 6100 block of Ludlow Street in Philadelphia with multiple gunshot wounds to his ankle, leg, and mid-section. He was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center in critical condition and died from his injuries on Friday, November 9, 2018.

Investigators later linked the killing to a long campaign of harassment aimed at Smith and his girlfriend, Christina Parker, by Parker’s ex-boyfriend Markevon Durham. The harassment began in summer 2017 after Parker ended that relationship and reportedly included cutting off Parker’s ponytail on a subway platform, kidnapping her, and setting five homes on fire in attempts to find the couple. Smith, Parker, and their families repeatedly reported these incidents to Philadelphia police, identifying Durham as the perpetrator.

Durham was arrested on Tuesday, October 22, 2019, following an intensive investigation into the pattern of stalking, arson, and assault that culminated in Smith’s murder. Did anyone in the community have contact with Smith or Parker in 2017–2018 who can add details about the threats and incidents that preceded the shooting?
