Luiz Padilla, 38, was shot and killed in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood on March 24, 2016. He was found about 1:40 a.m. at the intersection of Front Street and Indiana Avenue in the Fairhill section with multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and torso. He was taken to Temple University Hospital but was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators treated the attack as targeted: 13 shell casings were recovered, and surveillance video showed a person in a black or dark-blue hoodie jump into a vehicle and drive away. The Philadelphia Police Department reviewed video and canvassed for witnesses, and no arrests were made immediately after the shooting. The community responded with shock and concern over rising gun violence.

Are there anyone who remembers seeing activity near Front Street and Indiana Avenue that night or who can help identify the person seen on video?
