Syed Blackwell was 29 when he was shot in West Philadelphia in the early hours of a Tuesday morning in October 2009. He was found on the 5600 block of Arch Street with a single gunshot wound; first responders got a call at 1:41 a.m. and he was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where he was pronounced dead at 2:20 a.m.

Philadelphia police investigated and reported two unidentified men seen fleeing the scene in a dark-colored vehicle as persons of interest, but the motive was not determined. There have been no public announcements about arrests or identified suspects, and the case was described as growing cold.

Did anyone in the community have connections to Syed or recall seeing a dark-colored vehicle in the Arch Street area that night?
