James Easterling Jr. was 22 when he was shot on the 1300 block of East Johnson Street in Philadelphia on the evening of September 26, 2016. Police arrived about 7:50 p.m.; James was found with a gunshot wound and taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center, where he died that night. Two other men, ages 20 and 18, were also treated at the same hospital after being struck by gunfire.

James lived on East Duval Street and was remembered by family as loving, friendly, and kind. He attended services at the Salvation Army Kroc Center, helped people there with odd jobs, and was described as hardworking and proud of his sneaker collection.

No arrests or named suspects have been reported and the Philadelphia Police list the case as an unsolved murder. Does anyone have information about what happened on East Johnson Street that night?
