Jocelynn Marshall, 35, was found shot to death on December 19, 2024, in a North Philadelphia apartment on the 1800 block of Diamond Street. Her body was discovered alongside her 39-year-old boyfriend, Terrell Sanders; both had been shot multiple times and were pronounced dead at the scene just after 3 p.m. The apartment was on the second floor when medics responded.

Marshall worked for Tastykake and was a mother to two sons, aged 18 and six. Concern was raised when she did not show up for work, which led to the welfare check and the subsequent discovery. Philadelphia police opened an intensive homicide investigation and a $40,000 reward was offered for information leading to a conviction.

An arrest was made in early January 2025 when 46-year-old Bilal Simmons was taken into custody and charged with the murders, along with violations of the Uniform Firearms Act and possessing an instrument of crime. Authorities have not disclosed a motive or described any relationship between Simmons and the victims. Did anyone in North Philadelphia know Jocelynn or Terrell, or have information about what happened that day?
