Raymond Perez, a 36-year-old Hispanic man, was murdered in Philadelphia on January 27, 2013. His death is recorded among the city’s 247 homicides that year, a year when the majority of killings involved firearms and 81.3% of homicides were caused by gunfire. Authorities noted many homicides in 2013 occurred outdoors and that disputes and arguments accounted for nearly half of recorded motives.

Perez’s case remained unsolved with no arrest reported, and his death is one of many unresolved homicides contributing to persistent challenges with gun violence in certain Philadelphia neighborhoods.

If anyone knew Raymond Perez or has information about his death, please come forward to assist the ongoing effort to find answers.
