Luke Pierre Ellington, 23, was shot to death outside American Legion Post 153 on Kensington Avenue in Philadelphia shortly after 1:00 a.m. on July 30, 2016. The shooter fled the scene after the killing.

Police later identified 29-year-old Sovranna Sem as the suspect and arrested him in Virginia on January 17, 2017; he was extradited to Pennsylvania and charged with murder and related offenses. A civil lawsuit was also filed against the American Legion Post alleging it negligently served alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person who then killed Ellington.

If anyone has information about the events that evening or knew Luke, please share what is known.
