William Hudson, 25, was fatally shot on December 24, 2012, and found on the 2000 block of Bridge Street in the Frankford neighborhood of Philadelphia. His death occurred during a year marked by a sharp rise in homicides across the city, with firearms used in the vast majority of those killings.

Frankford had been grappling with significant crime challenges, and Hudson’s killing underscored the persistence of gun violence in Philadelphia, where by 2012 more than 80 percent of homicides involved firearms. Police continue to investigate the shooting and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
