Rafael Rivera, a 25-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on September 3, 2014, in Philadelphia. Police say he was sitting in the front passenger seat of a car on the 400 block of Roselyn Street when 21-year-old Antonio Rosario shot him in the head. The vehicle left the scene and was found burning three and a half hours later in an alley behind the 6100 block of Lawrence Street; firefighters found Rivera’s body in the front passenger seat with multiple gunshot wounds.

Witnesses reported Rivera and Rosario had argued before the shooting. Rosario was arrested and charged with homicide and related offenses. Rivera’s family said he had been rebuilding his life after a jail term, had recently been released on probation, and had a baby under two months old at the time of his death.

Who in the neighborhood remembers Rivera that night or saw the car between Roselyn Street and Lawrence Street?
