Matthew Novak was 24 when he was killed on September 28, 2008, in Philadelphia. After attending the Puerto Rican Day Parade he and two friends were returning home when their car broke down at 6th and Green streets in the Northern Liberties neighborhood. A blue Chevy Impala with three men inside stopped to help; Novak got into that vehicle.

He was driven to 13th and Fairmount, and was shot in the leg as he exited the car. He later died at a hospital. The men who shot him have not been identified and his family continues to seek justice.

If anyone remembers the blue Chevy Impala or the three men who stopped to help that night, please share what you know.
