On the afternoon of Thursday, June 1, 2017, 31-year-old Anthony Lewis was shot multiple times in front of a grocery store near the 2400 block of Cecil B. Moore Avenue in North Philadelphia. Officers on foot patrol heard the gunfire at about 4:38 p.m. and found Lewis, a Black man who lived about a block away. He was taken to Hahnemann University Hospital but died of wounds to the neck, chest, back, and arms and was pronounced dead at 5:48 p.m.

Investigators recovered nine spent shell casings at the scene. Homicide detectives began searching for suspects and a motive and planned to review nearby surveillance footage. As of the day after the shooting, no arrests had been made and the motive remained unknown. The Philadelphia Police Department continues to seek information to help solve the case.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear anything that afternoon that could help investigators?
