Izzadeen Burgos, a 21-year-old Hispanic man, was shot outside his home in the 400 block of West Wingohocken Street in Philadelphia shortly after 11 p.m. on July 19, 2015. He was taken to Temple University Hospital in critical condition and died in the early hours of July 20, 2015. The shooting was witnessed by his father, who chased the assailant for a block before the gunman fired at him and escaped in a dark-colored Toyota.

Izzadeen’s life included a childhood shooting that resulted in the amputation of his left arm at age two. Known as the Bionic Arm in the local boxing community, he boxed under the mentorship of a retired Philadelphia Police officer and became an inspirational figure despite later encounters with law enforcement and time in prison for drug and assault charges. At the time of his death he was reportedly planning to mentor youth. A reward was offered for information but no suspect has been identified.

Did anyone in the area around West Wingohocken Street that night see the dark-colored Toyota or anything that might help identify the shooter?
