A 14-year-old Northeast High School ninth-grader, Ian Wilsey, was shot and killed on the evening of November 28, 2016, in the Mayfair section of Philadelphia. The shooting happened around 9 p.m. in the 6200 block of Brous Avenue while Wilsey was with a 16-year-old friend. Two men approached the teenagers and one opened fire; Wilsey was taken to a nearby hospital and died less than an hour later. His friend was not physically harmed.

Police tied the killing to a planned marijuana transaction. Wilsey had accompanied his older friend to what was supposed to be a small sale, and an altercation during the transaction led to the shooting. Authorities later identified 19-year-old Samir Price as a primary suspect; Price surrendered on December 6, 2016, and was arrested and charged with murder, robbery, and related offenses. On May 30, 2018, Price pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and two firearms violations and received a 25 to 50 year sentence.

Did anyone in the Mayfair community have contact with Ian or his friend in the days before November 28, 2016?
