On the evening of Wednesday, March 4, 2026, a dispute that began inside a Northeast Philadelphia convenience store moved outside and ended in a fatal shooting. Thirty-five-year-old Vaswani Brown was found in the 6600 block of Summerdale Avenue near Magee Avenue just after 7 p.m., lying next to a running SUV with at least one gunshot wound to the back. He was taken to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after 7:45 p.m.

Surveillance video recorded the incident. Investigators say the argument continued after Brown returned to his parked SUV; an alleged shooter approached the passenger side window and fired three shots, then fled south on Summerdale Avenue. Police recovered three spent shell casings and a semiautomatic handgun believed to have belonged to Brown on the driver’s side of the vehicle.

Philadelphia Police have issued a murder warrant for 23-year-old Michael White, described as a Black male about 5 feet 11 inches tall and 250 pounds, last known on the 1300 block of Wells Street. A $20,000 reward is being offered for information leading to his arrest and conviction. Does anyone with knowledge of the area or this incident have information that could help investigators?
