Paul Cobb, 24, was fatally shot on the evening of March 30, 2026, in the Cobbs Creek neighborhood of Philadelphia. The shooting occurred around 8:40 p.m. on South 60th Street near Delancey Street when a masked person inside a white vehicle opened fire into a crowd. Paul and his childhood friend Naasir Boyd, also 24, both sustained gunshot wounds to the chest and were pronounced dead at Penn-Presbyterian Hospital.

Three other men were wounded: a 36-year-old with a gunshot wound to the stomach in critical condition, and two men, 35 and 54, shot in the leg and reported stable. Paul, known as PJ, was one of six children and lived with his family just blocks from the shooting; his mother, Tiffany Thurston, said he had been on his way to visit her. The Philadelphia Police Department’s homicide unit canvassed the area and examined nearby city and private surveillance cameras, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests announced.

If anyone was in the area that night or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
