Robert Rhines was 33 when he was killed in Philadelphia on December 2, 2013. He was found in the North Hancock Street area in the early hours suffering from gunshot wounds to the chest and was pronounced dead shortly afterward.

Rhines’ death was recorded amid a surge of violence in Philadelphia that year, when the city logged over 225 homicides and more than 80% of murders involved firearms. His killing underscored the toll of gun violence on neighborhoods already struggling with poverty, limited access to mental health services, and systemic inequality, and served as a reminder that victims are individuals with families and communities left to grieve.

Does anyone have information about Rhines or his last known movements in North Hancock Street on the night of December 2, 2013?
