Reggie Ellis, a 44-year-old resident of Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood, was shot multiple times shortly before 1:00 AM on Sunday, July 5, 2015. The wounds to his leg, neck, and chest left him in a pool of blood on the 2000 block of East Stella Street, where police pronounced him dead.

Investigators reported a witness who saw a Black man in a white t-shirt fleeing on Stella Street toward Frankford Avenue immediately after the shooting. The killing was one of several homicides during that Fourth of July holiday weekend and prompted a police investigation. As of July 2015 no arrests had been announced and the murder remained unsolved.

If anyone knew Reggie, saw activity on East Stella Street that night, or has information about the man seen running toward Frankford Avenue, please come forward.
