On the evening of July 4, 2013, a triple shooting near 72nd and Ogontz Avenues in Philadelphia left two men dead and a third wounded. Forty-one-year-old Robert Witherspoon, a Black/African American male, and Terrell Holliday were both found on the sidewalk after gunfire; Holliday was unresponsive and later died at a hospital from a gunshot wound to the head, the manner ruled a homicide. Witherspoon was conscious at the scene but had sustained a spinal gunshot wound that caused paralysis; he later died from his injuries.

A third man, Brandon Garland, was located a short distance away with gunshot wounds and taken to the same hospital for treatment. Police identified Maalik Muhammad as a suspect; a jury in 2013 found Muhammad guilty of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of Witherspoon and Holliday.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who remember the shootings or the activity around 72nd and Ogontz Avenues that night?
