He was pronounced dead after being shot; the circumstances were not immediately clear and the Philadelphia Police Department opened a homicide investigation. No arrests have been made and no suspects have been publicly identified.

The case remains unsolved and Griffin’s name appears on memorial projects honoring the city’s victims of gun violence. Beyond those facts, little has been reported publicly about his life or the events leading to the shooting.

Does anyone who lived in Kensington or who may have been in the area on September 27, 2017 recall seeing or hearing anything that could help investigators?
