Roderick Jones, 50, was shot and killed on the afternoon of Wednesday, August 9, 2017, in the Strawberry Mansion neighborhood of Philadelphia. Police found him on the sidewalk in the 3000 block of Fontain Street after responding to a report of a person with a gun; he had a fatal gunshot wound to the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Within hours investigators received information identifying a suspect. Highway Patrol officers located 60-year-old Michael Davis a couple of blocks from the shooting and took him into custody without incident; he lived on the same block where the shooting occurred. The next day Davis was charged with Jones’s murder and related offenses and was ordered held without bail during a pre-dawn hearing.

Did anyone in Strawberry Mansion see or hear anything that afternoon that could shed light on what happened?
