On the afternoon of December 9, 2015, Philadelphia Police responded to reports of gunfire on the 200 block of West Apsley Street and found 31-year-old Black male Mustafa Guyton lying in the street with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Temple University Hospital and pronounced dead at 1:15 p.m. Guyton lived on the 300 block of West Logan Street in Philadelphia.

The death is an unsolved homicide; no arrests or identified suspects have been reported and authorities continue to seek information from the public. A separate 2013 incident noted by police named a 29-year-old Black male also called Mustafa Guyton as a suspect in a brutal assault in Germantown, but it is unclear whether that individual is the same man who was killed in 2015.

Anyone with information about the shooting on West Apsley Street is asked to contact the Philadelphia Police Department at 215-686-TIPS.
