Nicasio Diego, 29, was killed in Philadelphia on October 3, 2010. His death was one of 306 homicides recorded in the city that year, a period marked by a sharp rise in violent crime and a rate of 19.8 victims per 100,000 people.

2010’s homicides disproportionately affected young adults between 18 and 34 and occurred across many neighborhoods, reflecting a mix of gang activity, interpersonal disputes, and gun-related incidents amid economic hardship. Diego’s death is part of that broader pattern of loss that prompted calls for better violence prevention and community initiatives.
