Tyree Spaid was 25 when he was shot and killed in Philadelphia on May 4, 2009. His body was located on the 2600 block of North Douglas Street, the site of the fatal shooting. The investigation remains open and no arrests have been announced.

Spaid’s death is recorded among many unsolved homicides from 2009 that highlight ongoing gun violence in parts of the city and the difficulty families face in obtaining closure. Police have made appeals for information, but there has been little progress reported in identifying the person or people responsible.

If anyone remembers seeing activity on North Douglas Street on or around May 4, 2009, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
