Rafiq Jamison was a 21-year-old Black man from Philadelphia who died in July 2012. Records place him in the city and link his death to the wider tragedy of another young life cut short, but the available details do not include a full account of the circumstances surrounding the fatal incident.

After Rafiq’s death, his family — described as a grieving Muslim family from the neighborhood — sought burial at Friends Southwestern Burial Ground, a historic Quaker cemetery in Philadelphia, as they arranged to lay him to rest.

If anyone knew Rafiq, his family, or has information about what happened in July 2012, please come forward and share what you know.
