On February 17, 2017, at about 1:12 a.m., officers responded to a bar on the 2200 block of West Indiana Street in North Philadelphia and found 46-year-old Eugene Farmer suffering from gunshot wounds. He was taken to Temple University Hospital in critical condition and later died from his injuries. Investigators say a male suspect about 5 feet 9 inches with a heavy build entered wearing a dark green hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans, his hood tied tightly around his face. A confrontation with Farmer led to a physical altercation during which the assailant fired two shots, striking Farmer twice.

The suspect then threatened the bartender, took $175 from the register plus Farmer’s wallet and car keys, and fled. Farmer lived on the 5500 block of Hunter Street and had begun managing Monique’s Lounge with his father, William Berry, on February 1, 2017; he is survived by two children and was described by his father as generous and giving. No arrests have been announced; anyone with information is asked to contact the Philadelphia Police at 215-686-TIPS.

Who has information that could help identify the suspect or reconstruct the moments before and after the shooting?
