On July 2, 2015, at about 1:26 p.m., 21-year-old Daniel Santiago, a Hispanic male, was shot multiple times on the 2800 block of Orthodox Street in the Bridesburg neighborhood of Philadelphia. Emergency responders took him to Temple University Hospital, where he later died.

Police arrested 18-year-old Robert Diluzio shortly after the shooting on the 4600 block of Edgemont Street; witnesses identified him as the shooter. Investigators say Diluzio had allegedly robbed two acquaintances at gunpoint about 12 hours earlier near Campbell Square Park, taking cash and cell phones and forcing one victim to strip to his underwear. According to witnesses, a group that included Santiago went to Diluzio’s residence to recover the stolen items, and Diluzio confronted them with a firearm. Witnesses reported Santiago challenged whether the gun was real, after which he was fatally shot.

Diluzio was charged with murder, robbery, violations of the firearms act and related offenses. The defense has argued he acted in self-defense, saying he remained on his porch while the group approached to confront him. Does anyone have additional information about who was present that afternoon or what led the group to go to Diluzio’s residence?
