On a late morning in May 2014 in West Philadelphia, Aaron Johnson was shot multiple times on a street and later died at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. An autopsy found two gunshot wounds, to the back and hip, and identified the wound to the back — which struck the left lung and aorta — as the fatal injury; the death was ruled a homicide.

Witnesses said a group of men were outside when the shooting began; after the shots, bystanders ran and later found Johnson on the ground. Police investigated and identified two suspects. Authorities say Braheem Owens shot Johnson, then got into a car driven by an accomplice; both fled the scene. A nearby marked patrol car heard the gunfire and pursued. The vehicle was abandoned several blocks away and the accomplice was detained after a short foot pursuit and found with a firearm. Ballistics testing linked six cartridge casings at the scene to that firearm, and the driver was later arrested on charges related to the shooting.

Does anyone have information about the shooting or the people who were outside that morning?
