Narsizo Rivera was 32 when he was fatally shot on the streets of Philadelphia on August 19, 2008. His death occurred during a month and year marked by a surge in gun violence across the city, with August 2008 among several deadly months that pushed the 2008 homicide totals higher.

Rivera’s killing was recorded as one of multiple shootings affecting young adults and people in their early thirties, and it remained one of the unsolved homicides contributing to the city’s broader public safety crisis that year.

If anyone in Philadelphia that summer remembers seeing or hearing anything about Rivera before August 19, please share information that might help investigators or the family.
