Tamir Hill, 31, was killed in an early-morning shooting on May 8, 2026, in North Philadelphia. At about 2:30 a.m. Hill and two 26-year-old men were sitting on the front steps of a Philadelphia Housing Authority property on the 2500 block of West Berks Street when gunfire erupted. Responding officers found all three with gunshot wounds; Hill suffered multiple wounds to the torso and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival at Temple University Hospital. The two other men were taken to the hospital in critical condition.

Police recovered at least seven spent shell casings at the scene, some very close to where the victims had been sitting. The Homicide Unit took over the investigation, was reviewing nearby surveillance footage and asking the public for information. No suspects had been identified and no arrests were announced. If anyone has information about what happened that pre-dawn on West Berks Street, please come forward.
