Dwight Dixon, 33, of Philadelphia, died on September 4, 2009, after being critically wounded in a July 21, 2009, shooting. Dixon had been shot multiple times near Playmakers, a bar owned by Marvin Harrison, and he later fell into a coma and died from his injuries. Dixon had earlier accused Harrison of shooting him outside Playmakers in April 2008, and he filed a lawsuit against Harrison following that allegation.

Police served a search warrant at Playmakers seeking surveillance footage, and Dixon told others before losing consciousness that Harrison was behind the July attack. Investigators did not develop what prosecutors considered compelling evidence directly linking Harrison to the 2008 or 2009 shootings, and no criminal charges were filed. The case ended without an arrest, leaving questions about motive and accountability.

Did anyone in the Philadelphia area at the time see activity around Playmakers or the two crime scenes that could shed light on what happened?
