Meshach Brighty was 21 when he was fatally shot just before midnight on August 4, 2015, in Philadelphia’s Wynnefield neighborhood. Officers responding to 911 calls for gunfire found him collapsed on the sidewalk on the 5300 block of West Berks Street; police say he was shot in the head at close range while riding a bicycle and remained on the bike when he fell. Witnesses told investigators the gunman got into a dark blue or black sedan where two other men were waiting and the car fled south on Georges Lane.

Philadelphia homicide detectives arrested Kyree Darrisaw on August 20, 2015, charging him with Brighty’s murder and with the May 10, 2015 killing of Basil Amir Anderson. Reports differ on spellings of Brighty’s name and one report gave a different block for the scene, but contemporaneous scene accounts and later arrest coverage place Brighty’s fatal shooting near the 5300 block of Berks Street.

Did anyone in Wynnefield at the time see that dark blue or black sedan, or know the identities of the men who reportedly fled after the shooting?
