Tony Harris, 50, was killed after a home invasion in the Kingsessing neighborhood of Philadelphia that began, investigators say, with a Facebook post. A week earlier Harris had posted a photo of his wife holding what looked like a large sum of money and joked about misplacing $60,000. That image is believed to have drawn the attention of three masked young men, estimated to be 17 to 19 years old, who entered the home with guns while at least two of Harris’s three young children were present.

The front door was reportedly unlocked when the intruders entered. The men demanded to know where the money was; when Harris could not produce it, one of the assailants shot him in the head. Harris was taken to a hospital and died the following morning. The stacks of cash in the Facebook photo were not real, a nephew later said, consisting mostly of one-dollar bills with twenty-dollar bills on top. The robbers left without taking money.

As of early 2016 no arrests had been made and police offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to arrest and conviction. Did anyone in Kingsessing recognize the three young men or have information that could help the family find answers?
