Isaiah Batties was 31 when he was shot late on September 27, 2016, outside his home on the 6000 block of Vandike Street in Philadelphia’s Wissinoming neighborhood. At least ten rounds were fired on the block; investigators say Isaiah was struck in the chest, stomach, and legs after stepping outside, reportedly to smoke a cigarette, and crawled back into the house. Spent shell casings were found on the sidewalk where he fell and one on the front porch, and police found him inside suffering multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Temple University Hospital and died the next morning, September 28, 2016.

Family remembered Isaiah as warm and positive despite longtime sickle cell anemia, the youngest of six who lived with a sister and helped care for her children, played video games with his nephews, and worked on computers; they also recalled his artistic talent. Police have said he appeared to be the intended target, checked nearby surveillance footage, and offered a reward of up to $20,000 for information. No suspect has been publicly named and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in Wissinoming at the time see or hear anything that could help investigators?
