Sherrieff Watkins, a 22-year-old Black male from Philadelphia, is recorded among the city’s 2011 homicide victims. The public homicide listing shows he was assaulted and killed on February 20, 2011, on the 5900 block of North 2nd Street, one of Philadelphia’s early-year killings during a period of persistent gun violence.

Available public information is limited. The listing gives Watkins’s name, age, date of assault, date of death, and location but offers no narrative of the attack, no identified motive, and no named suspect. Watkins does appear in earlier Pennsylvania appellate court records from an unrelated 2007 shooting in which he survived a gunshot to the arm; those records document the arrest, trial, conviction, and life sentence of Terrell Wright for the 2007 crimes but do not connect Wright or anyone else to Watkins’s 2011 killing.

If anyone knew Sherrieff, witnessed events on February 20, 2011, or has information about what happened on the 5900 block of North 2nd Street, please share what is known.
