Damien Jones was 16 when he was fatally shot twice in the chest on August 20, 2014, on the 1500 block of South 21st Street in South Philadelphia. The shooting happened just after 10:15 p.m.; Damien was taken to Methodist Hospital and pronounced dead on arrival.

Witnesses described the shooter as a male wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and camouflage-type shorts, last seen running south on 21st Street toward Tasker Street. That night four shootings occurred in the city within about an hour and a half, producing two fatalities and two injured persons.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information about the shooting or the person seen running on 21st Street is asked to contact the Philadelphia Police.
