On the night of Saturday, August 27, 2016, 25-year-old Nashawn Jones was shot on the 1700 block of North Newkirk Street in the Brewerytown neighborhood of Philadelphia. Police were called about a person with a gun around 9:25 p.m. and found Jones on the sidewalk with a fatal gunshot wound to the chest. He was taken to Temple University Hospital and pronounced dead less than an hour later. A 45-year-old man was also shot in the chest during the same incident and was later reported in stable condition.

Known to family and friends as Moo moo, Jones had been working to turn his life around: he had earned his GED, taken business courses at the Community College of Philadelphia, planned to pursue a commercial driver’s license, and had been in a music studio the night before the shooting continuing his rap work. He had recently become engaged and was planning to move to North Carolina with his fiancée. The shooting is believed to have followed an argument. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced.

Does anyone who lived in Brewerytown then or who knew Nashawn have information that could help the Philadelphia Police Department’s investigation?
