Edward Abu, a 54-year-old Black man from Philadelphia, was critically wounded by gunfire on the 2000 block of South 60th Street in the predawn hours of Saturday, August 22, 2015. Police arrived at about 3:53 a.m. and found him unresponsive in the street with multiple gunshot wounds; he was alive when transported to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center.

Edward remained hospitalized for nearly three weeks while doctors treated his injuries, but he died of those wounds on Friday, September 11, 2015. Records list his residence on the 6600 block of Guyer Street, just a few miles from where the shooting occurred.

Investigators have asked the public for tips and directed anyone with information to the Philadelphia Police Department tip line. Does anyone have information that could help bring answers in this case?
