Sterling Roberts, 38, was found shot inside a home on the 700 block of Tree Street in South Philadelphia late on May 22, 2025. Police and medics arrived just before 9:30 p.m.; Roberts was pronounced dead at 9:43 p.m. from a gunshot wound to the head. Two other men were wounded in the same incident: a 36-year-old with a wound to his back taken to a hospital in stable condition, and a 55-year-old who fled the house, collapsed down the block, and was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

Investigators recovered a handgun and at least six spent shell casings, and said the evidence suggested two guns were fired. Early indications from police at the scene were that Roberts and the critically wounded 55-year-old may have been the two shooters; detectives were still evaluating the 36-year-old survivor’s involvement. The shooting occurred just south of Snyder Avenue on a compact residential block; officers interviewed at least one other person who had been inside the house at the time. No arrests had been announced.

Does anyone who was in that neighborhood that night or who knew people at that residence have information that could help investigators?
