Alsharay Ford, a 25-year-old African American man from Philadelphia, was killed on July 28, 2016, after driving into the middle of a shootout on Germantown Avenue. Ford was driving his 3-year-old daughter home from daycare around 6 p.m. when rival groups began exchanging gunfire across the busy street. As he handed the phone to his daughter so she could speak to her mother, a stray bullet struck him in the head. He was taken to the hospital and died the following day; his daughter in the backseat was unharmed.
Detectives recovered surveillance footage and identified 19-year-old Jameil Byrd as one of the alleged gunmen; Byrd was arrested and charged with murder. An 18-year-old, Saykou Monte, was also charged with murder but remained at large. The City of Philadelphia offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
Who in the Germantown community has information about the shooting or about Monte’s whereabouts that could help bring more answers to Ford’s family?
