Thomas Ellis was a 23-year-old Black man who was fatally shot in Philadelphia on December 7, 2011. The death was recorded on the 1800 block of East Hart Lane.

There is no public information identifying a suspect or describing a motive, whether the encounter involved someone Thomas knew, followed an argument, or was connected to a robbery. A brief online remembrance described him as big bro and said he is missed every day, a small window into the person behind the record.

Anyone with memories of Thomas, details about the December 7 incident, or information that could help resolve this homicide is asked to come forward.
