On the late morning of October 16, 2013, 27-year-old Tyrik Griffin was shot on the 2400 block of South 63rd Street in the Elmwood section of Philadelphia. Surveillance footage released by police shows Griffin pursued by an armed man who fires multiple shots, striking Griffin in the legs and lower back. Griffin was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where he died of his injuries.

The suspect in the video is described as a Black male about six feet tall with a medium build and a Sunni-style beard, wearing a black sweatshirt with NIKE in white across the chest. The Philadelphia Police Department’s Homicide Unit appealed for public help identifying him after releasing the footage.

If anyone saw activity on South 63rd Street that morning or recognizes the man in the surveillance footage, please share what you know with investigators.
