Shannon Abdul-Rahim, 29, a Black man, was killed the evening of January 4, 2017, in West Philadelphia. He was found with a gunshot wound to the neck on the 5800 block of West Thompson Street near Carroll Park, a short distance from where he lived. Reports say the shooting followed a verbal argument and the shooter fled, leaving Abdul-Rahim mortally wounded.

Investigators later focused on Khadir Shareef Blue as a suspect. A murder warrant for Blue was issued January 18, 2017, and his case was referred to the U.S. Marshals Violent Crime Fugitive Task Force. He was added to the Pennsylvania State Police Ten Most Wanted list in September 2018. Blue was arrested December 3, 2019, in Chester after officers surrounded a residence; he reportedly tried to flee through a rear window and was taken into custody after a brief struggle. A loaded .45-caliber semi-automatic handgun was recovered at the scene.

If anyone knew Shannon, saw him that evening, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
