Jose Rivera was 48 and living on North 5th Street when he was fatally shot during a robbery on March 28, 2015. Police were called about a robbery in progress at about 5:45 p.m. at a residence on the 700 block of West Russell Street. Officers found Rivera on the first floor with a gunshot wound to his chest; he was taken to Temple University Hospital and died that evening.

No suspects have been apprehended and the investigation remains open. Philadelphia Police are asking anyone with information to contact the homicide unit at 215-686-TIPS (8477). If anyone knew Rivera or was in the area that evening, can you share what you saw or any information that could help his family and investigators?
