Eugenio Hernandez, a 24-year-old Hispanic/Latino man from Philadelphia, was killed by gunfire on November 5, 2013, shortly after 8:00 p.m. near H and Russell Streets in West Kensington. He had stopped into a nearby store and picked up a Sprite moments before the shooting; surveillance footage reviewed by a store worker, Wilber Caceres, shows Eugenio but not the shooter. Eugenio was struck in the chest, taken to hospital, and did not survive.

A 29-year-old man was also wounded in the leg and taken to Temple University Hospital in stable condition. Police recovered 12 shell casings at the scene, and one bullet entered a nearby home where a family with four children was inside; no one in that house was injured. Police described the case as under investigation and no suspect, motive, or arrest has been identified in the killing.

If anyone has information about what happened that evening at H and Russell Streets, please come forward.
