James Williams was 25 when he was shot and killed in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood on Thursday, October 22, 2015. Shortly after 1:00 p.m. police responded to the 500 block of East Indiana Avenue for a report of a person with a gun or a shooting and found Williams suffering from a gunshot wound. He was placed in a patrol vehicle and taken to Temple University Hospital, where he died later that afternoon.

Williams lived on the 2800 block of North Fairhill Street. Investigators said he had been shot once in the chest and that the shooting appeared to have occurred in broad daylight on a neighborhood block. Months later police released surveillance images showing a possible suspect — described as a man about 20 years old, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall, brown complexion, wearing a dark zip-up hooded sweatshirt and sneakers — and announced a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. No arrest has been reported and the case remains open.

If anyone has information about the shooting, the suspect seen on surveillance, or the moments before and after Williams was shot, contact the Philadelphia Police Homicide Division or submit an anonymous tip.
