Maurice Clay Adside, a 31-year-old Black man, was killed in a shooting in West Philadelphia on February 17, 2016. The shooting happened around 11:00 p.m. near 52nd and Pine Streets, close to Cousin Danny’s Exotic Haven. Police and local reporting described the attack as ambush-style or execution-style: Maurice was reportedly stepping out of his car when a gunman opened fire at close range and multiple shots struck him.

Authorities arrested 23-year-old Richard McMillan the day after the shooting and charged him with murder; public homicide tracking records list the case as closed by arrest. Reports at the time said investigators were still trying to determine a motive and whether McMillan and Maurice knew each other. Maurice’s death was later cited by community groups calling attention to repeated deadly violence in that neighborhood.

Did anyone in the area see Maurice’s car or the shooting that night, or have information about why he might have been targeted?
