Michael Kevi Williams, a 46-year-old Black man from Philadelphia, was killed in Philadelphia in 2013. A later local report connects his killing to a lot at Germantown Avenue and Allegheny Avenue in Tioga.

More than a year after Williams was killed, the City of Philadelphia’s Mural Arts Program, Amber Art and Design, community members, and the Youth Violence Reduction Partnership Guild created the Loving Memories Mural Project at that corner. The mural was dedicated primarily to Keisha Williams and her three children, who died in a 2014 carjacking crash at the same location, and the memorial space also honored Michael Kevi Williams as a murder victim killed there a year earlier.

Does anyone have information about Michael Kevi Williams or remembers the lot at Germantown and Allegheny before it became a memorial?
