Pierce Johnson was 22 when he was fatally shot in Philadelphia’s Kingsessing neighborhood in the early hours of Sunday, February 2, 2014. Family described him as outgoing, goofy, a devoted son, brother, uncle and the father of a young daughter. Around 3:20 a.m. he and another man were walking on the 1200 block of South 57th Street when a gunman opened fire. Pierce suffered multiple wounds — two to the head and three to his back — and was pronounced dead at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania at 3:25 a.m.

A 23-year-old man was also shot nearby on the 5700 block of Hoffman Street and was taken to the hospital in critical condition. Investigators reported seeing two men at the time of the shooting, one in a gray hooded sweatshirt and one in a tan hooded sweatshirt, and sought information on at least one suspect. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved; the City of Philadelphia is offering a $20,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone knew Pierce, his movements that night, or saw the men described, please contact the Philadelphia Police Department at 215-686-TIPS, text PPD TIP, or submit a tip through PhillyPolice.com.
