Pete Hopkins, 23, was shot dead in the early hours of a Sunday in May 2012 after an argument outside Rumba’s Bar & Grill on North 4th Street in North Philadelphia. The dispute reportedly escalated to a fistfight involving Hopkins and two other men before firearms were produced. Hopkins suffered two or three gunshot wounds to the chest and was taken to Temple University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 1:57 a.m. Two other men, aged 19 and 24, were also wounded and treated at the same hospital.

Police described the shooting as stemming from an argument and said their investigation was ongoing; no immediate arrests were announced. Hopkins had been publicly known four years earlier after being one of three men filmed being beaten by Philadelphia police following a car chase. Are there readers who remember that night or who have information about the shooting on North 4th Street?
