On the evening of March 12, 2015, 51-year-old James Patrick Stuhlman was walking his dog on the 6400 block of Woodcrest Avenue in the Overbrook neighborhood of Philadelphia. He had told his daughter to stay home; she usually accompanied him. Three teenagers who had been playing basketball confronted him intending to commit a robbery. During a struggle, Stuhlman was shot once in the chest. Police found him unconscious in the street, a flashlight in one hand and his dog’s leash in the other; his dog remained at his side. He was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators identified three local teens: 15-year-old Tyfine Hamilton, 15-year-old Brandon Smith, and an unnamed 14-year-old. Police named Hamilton as the shooter; he later turned himself in. Hamilton and Smith, both with prior robbery histories, were charged as adults with murder, conspiracy and robbery, while the 14-year-old faced juvenile charges. Does anyone have information about Stuhlman’s last walk or the teens involved?
