On a Monday morning in February 2012 in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, 30-year-old Lonnie Workman was shot once in the side on the 5500 block of Blakemore Street, where he lived. He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead less than an hour later. Workman graduated from Martin Luther King High School and worked as an independent handyman with skills in carpentry, plumbing, and electrical work.

Police quickly focused on a neighbor, 32-year-old Adrian Rasheen McCall, after witnesses said an argument between the two men escalated. Witnesses reported Workman had been upset and demanding a fair box, or fight, with McCall before the shooting; relatives of McCall initially told investigators they saw him shoot Workman but later recanted those statements at a June 2012 preliminary hearing. McCall was arrested and charged with murder, and a judge ordered him held for trial while prosecutors sought to allow a jury to consider first-degree murder.

If anyone knew Workman, lived on Blakemore Street, or saw what happened that morning, can you share information that could clarify the events leading up to the shooting?
