A deadly escalation in Northwest Philadelphia began with a shooting on September 20, 2022, when 45-year-old Cody Hargett went to a home on the 5200 block of Sydenham Street in the Logan neighborhood. Surveillance footage showed Hargett fleeing while Talim Hunt pursued and fired, striking Hargett twice in the right shoulder.

On October 9, 2022, Hargett returned to the same address. After several minutes of conversation outside, a fight broke out and Hunt produced a firearm, shooting Hargett nine times. According to reports, Hunt then stood over Hargett as he lay face down and shot him seven more times in the back. Hargett was taken to Einstein Medical Center and died shortly after arrival.

Police identified Talim Hunt as the sole suspect using cell phone location data placing him at both scenes. Investigators also recovered an Apple AirPod and a lighter at the fatal scene that reportedly contained Hunt’s DNA. No clear motive has been reported.

If anyone has information about Hargett’s movements in Logan or witnessed either shooting, please come forward with tips.
