Damon Rush was 25 when he was shot dead while seated in the passenger seat of a car at the intersection of Tyson Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard on a Saturday night in late January 2011. An unknown assailant fired multiple shots, striking Rush twice in the head. Investigators at the time believed he was the intended target, making the attack appear targeted.

Philadelphia homicide detectives handled the case amid a wave of weekend homicides that left several families grieving. The motive was not established in the immediate aftermath, and no information about suspects or arrests has been reported in the years since. The killing remains an unresolved murder that added to the city’s grim toll that weekend.

If anyone knew Damon, saw activity near Tyson Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard that night, or has information that could help, please come forward.
