Elston Blakely, a 51-year-old Black man, is recorded among Philadelphia’s homicide victims for an assault and death dated September 2, 2009.

Available online entries about Blakely are minimal: they give his name, age, the date, and the block where he was found but do not describe what happened before the assault, whether he was targeted, involved in a dispute, or attacked without warning.

Does anyone have information about Elston Blakely, his life, or the circumstances on West Willard Street that night?
