Adrian Wills, a 22-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on March 11, 2014, near the edge of La Salle University’s campus in Philadelphia’s Olney section. The shooting occurred about 3:54 p.m. on the 1900 block of West Olney Avenue after violence broke out following an argument in a rear alleyway. Wills was struck in the left side of his torso and was pronounced dead after being taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center. Investigators said Wills had no connection to La Salle despite the crime’s proximity to campus and the presence of nearby witnesses.

Police focused on a fleeing suspect described as 18 to 25 years old, about 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, light-complexioned with a scruffy beard, wearing a white thermal shirt, black pants and a black skully, last seen running north on the 5600 block of North 20th Street. Several witnesses were interviewed at Homicide headquarters and officers noted nearby cameras that might provide surveillance footage. If anyone saw the argument or the man who ran from the alleyway, please come forward with information.
