Jesse Roberts was 20 when he was killed in a shooting in Philadelphia on June 24, 2013. His death occurred during a year marked by high gun violence in the city: Philadelphia recorded 247 homicides in 2013, 201 of them from gunfire, and many killings happened outdoors in late evening hours.

Jesse’s case is listed among many that remain unsolved and reflects wider challenges investigators faced that year, including limited witness cooperation and scarce clear evidence; overall clearance rates struggled to stay above 60%. The Philadelphia Police Department has said it continued to pursue these investigations and to use public engagement and forensic methods to seek justice.

If anyone knew Jesse, was present in the neighborhood on June 24, 2013, or has information about that shooting, please share what is known with authorities.
