On the morning of November 10, 2015, 22-year-old Maurice McDonald was shot inside J&R Perez Grocery in the Mantua neighborhood of Philadelphia. He was reportedly looking at his cell phone near the store entrance when a gunman produced a 10mm Glock and fired multiple shots. Maurice was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead. Several children were present in the store during the shooting.

Authorities identified 28-year-old Kayree Reid as a suspect; he fled Philadelphia and was later located in Orange Park, Florida. A vehicle pursuit ended when the suspect’s car collided with law enforcement vehicles during an attempted escape. Reid was captured, a child and another occupant were in the car, and officers recovered drugs in the vehicle. After extradition back to Pennsylvania, a jury convicted Reid of third-degree murder, possession of an instrument of a crime, recklessly endangering another person, and carrying a firearm without a license; he also pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. His later appeal challenging trial counsel’s handling of surveillance-video analysis was denied.

Did anyone in Mantua or who shopped at J&R Perez Grocery recognize Maurice or see anything that morning?
