Kyleem Spain was 19 when he was shot and killed on July 24, 2010, on North Edgewood Street in Philadelphia. Authorities responded after reports of gunfire and emergency assistance was provided, but Spain succumbed to his injuries. The shooting occurred in an area described as having frequent criminal activity and was part of a wider surge in violence that year, which disproportionately affected young men in their teens and twenties.

Investigators had minimal leads and cited a lack of willing witnesses and complicated local social dynamics as obstacles to gathering information. Spain’s death was one of many unsolved homicides that contributed to the city’s high 2010 homicide rate. If anyone knew Kyleem, saw activity on North Edgewood Street that night, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
