Darryl Curtis, 37, was found shot to death in his Philadelphia home on the 8000 block of Erdrick Street late on January 3, 2017. Police discovered him on the floor of a rear bedroom with a fatal gunshot wound to the head; the initial investigation did not immediately reveal a motive.

Investigators later developed evidence tying two men to the scene. Surveillance footage and GPS data from an electronic ankle monitor placed 27-year-old Andrew Holder at the apartment the night of the killing. Jamal Washington, who lived in the same building and was the roommate of Curtis’s girlfriend, was seen escorting Holder and another person toward the residence.

Holder was arrested February 7, 2017, and charged with murder, robbery, and related offenses; he was convicted of third-degree murder, burglary, and conspiracy and sentenced to seventeen and one-half to thirty-five years. Washington was convicted of burglary and conspiracy to commit burglary. If anyone knew Darryl Curtis or has information about that night, please share what you can.
