Tyree Bates was 14 when he was shot and killed on a Philadelphia street just after midnight on July 17, 2018. He was on the 2100 block of North 4th Street with friends when gunfire erupted; Tyree was struck in the head and taken to St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children, where he died that morning. Four other young people, including an 11-year-old boy, were wounded in the same incident.

Police at the time believed the shooting grew out of a neighborhood dispute and did not appear to be directed specifically at Tyree. Friends and family remembered him as a good kid with a contagious smile who loved basketball and dreamed of playing professionally; he was looking forward to his 15th birthday and starting his sophomore year of high school. A $20,000 reward was offered for information leading to arrest and conviction, but the case remains unsolved.

Does anyone who was in that neighborhood on July 17, 2018, or who knew Tyree and his friends have information that could help bring those responsible to justice?
