Brandon Ivory Agnew, 32, was killed in Southwest Philadelphia after a quiet night at home turned violent. Reports place the shooting just after 10 p.m. on January 14, 2014, along the 5700 block of Hadfield Street or Hadfield Avenue. Agnew had been at home with his girlfriend and three children when he took a phone call and went outside; his uncle, William Rose, said the shooting occurred then. Other accounts say multiple gunmen approached while Agnew was on or near a porch and opened fire.

Police said Agnew was struck in the head, reportedly multiple times, and was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators found more than a dozen crime markers, consistent with a heavy burst of gunfire. No motive had been publicly identified in early reports, and no named suspects, arrests, charges, trials, or convictions were reported. The city later offered up to a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. If anyone knew Brandon, was in the neighborhood that night, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
