On January 15, 2017, 16-year-old Sean-D Jones was shot and killed inside his father’s store, Gary Global Links Video Productions, on the 200 block of N. 52nd Street in West Philadelphia. The shooting happened shortly before 1 p.m.; an unidentified gunman entered the store, fired, and struck Sean once in the head. His father discovered him on the floor and Sean was taken to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where he was pronounced dead at 3:14 p.m.

Sean was a student at Overbrook High School who had moved to Philadelphia from Jamaica with his family. Described by those who knew him as quiet and studious, he often did his homework inside the store where he was killed. Police say surveillance footage captures the gunman entering the business, but no arrests have been made and the weapon has not been recovered.

The case remains unsolved and the Philadelphia Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward. Does anyone who knew Sean or who was in the area that day have information that could help the investigation?
