On the night of September 16, 2025, 27-year-old Jasmine G. Johnson was killed in Strawberry Mansion after being struck in the back by a gunshot during a shootout on the 3100 block of West Montgomery Avenue. The shooting happened about 12:19 a.m.; nearly two dozen rounds were fired and investigators recovered spent shell casings from both sides of the street. Officers say the exchange involved at least two shooters using different caliber weapons, including a rifle and a semiautomatic handgun.

Johnson ran into a rooming house after being hit and collapsed on the living room floor; she was pronounced dead at 12:35 a.m. The house and an adjacent property were struck by bullets, and surveillance video of the incident was obtained. Police believe the likely targets may have been a group of at least two men who were outside the residence. No arrests or suspect descriptions have been released, and the Philadelphia Homicide Unit is investigating. The city is offering up to a $20,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone saw the shooting, the people outside the house that night, or has information about who fired the weapons, please contact the Philadelphia Police Homicide Unit.
