On August 17, 2016, Basil Bellinger, a 21-year-old from West Oak Lane, was shot dead at the corner of 18th and Wingohocking Streets in Nicetown. The shooting occurred just before 3 p.m.; Bellinger suffered fatal gunshot wounds to the back of the head and torso and was pronounced dead at Albert Einstein Medical Center at 3:25 p.m.

A 26-year-old man was also shot and taken to the same hospital in critical condition. Police arrived at the scene but released no description of suspects and had not determined a motive. As of the initial reports, no arrests had been announced and the investigation remained open.

What did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear around 18th and Wingohocking that afternoon that might help bring answers?
