Craig Thomas, 21, was fatally shot the morning of May 1, 2021, while walking in his neighborhood on the 3100 block of G Street in Philadelphia. Known as 215 Stacks, he was an accomplished musician, remembered for an infectious smile and a positive presence. He was raised in Kensington and was especially protective of his family, including his brother Nehemiah, who has special needs.

Police say an unknown assailant shot Craig; the Philadelphia Police Department has investigated but no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and the case remains unsolved. His death came amid a surge of violence in the city — Philadelphia recorded 46 murders in May 2021 — and it has had a deep impact on his community. Craig’s family and friends continue to seek justice while preserving his musical legacy and the memories he left behind.

If anyone knew Craig or has information about the shooting on the 3100 block of G Street, please come forward to the Philadelphia Police Department.
