On the evening of Tuesday, September 13, 2016, 21-year-old Angelo Colon was shot and killed outside a takeout restaurant on the 1800 block of Snyder Avenue in South Philadelphia. Police found Colon in the street with a gunshot wound to the head; paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. A second man was also shot in the legs and taken to a nearby hospital.

Colon’s family described him as outgoing, recently graduated from high school, employed by the City of Philadelphia, and eagerly awaiting the birth of his daughter. No arrests were announced and no suspects have been publicly identified; the case remains an unsolved homicide. The family’s grief was intensified when Colon’s grandmother died 13 days later and they were buried together. The rapper Meek Mill, Colon’s cousin, publicly mourned the loss.

If anyone remembers seeing activity near Snyder Avenue that night or has information about the shooting, please share what is known with investigators.
