Robert Ostiguin, 39, was fatally shot during a street-racing incident in Southwest Philadelphia on August 7, 2016. He was at a BP gas station on the 6600 block of East Essington Avenue around 1:49 a.m. when more than 20 shots rang out; Ostiguin, known as Mexican Rob, was leaning against his motorcycle and was struck multiple times, dying at the scene.

Witnesses said the shooters were two Black males in a gold Honda Civic who fled quickly. A bystander captured video of the shooting that shows the moment gunfire began and spectators scattering. Despite multiple witnesses, the case remains unsolved and police have asked the public to come forward with any information that could identify the gunmen.

If anyone saw the shooting, the vehicles involved, or knows the identity of the occupants of a gold Honda Civic that night, contact the Philadelphia Police Department.
