Charles Purnell was 22 when he was shot and killed on May 30, 2008, on the 4000 block of Lancaster Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Few details about the motive or the circumstances leading up to the shooting have been released, and the case remains unsolved.

His death was one of many that year tied to the city’s ongoing problem with gun violence. No arrests have been announced and authorities have asked anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew Charles, was in that neighborhood that night, or has information about what happened on Lancaster Street, please share what you know with investigators.
