Stephen Khiry Johnson was 23 and a senior marketing major at Temple University when he was shot and killed in the early hours of January 1, 2013. The shooting happened about 3:30 a.m. inside an apartment on the 1700 block of Venango Street in the Tioga section of Philadelphia. Johnson had been trying to de-escalate an argument at a party when violence erupted; two other men were also wounded.

Described by family as strong-minded and articulate, Johnson had plans to join the Navy and start a business to serve his community. His death devastated his family, friends, and the university community. Police identified and arrested a 22-year-old man, Lawrence Jeffries of Glenside, in connection with the shooting and charged him with murder and related offenses.

Does anyone who was at the party or who knew Stephen have information that could shed more light on what happened that night?
