Ransford Redley, a 49-year-old Black man, was murdered in Philadelphia on April 15, 2007. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. His death came during a period when the city was recording high numbers of homicides, with firearms the predominant method in many incidents that year.

Local leaders elected in 2007 prioritized crime reduction and introduced a mix of tactics, including new foot patrols and community-based programs such as Cure Violence, alongside controversial measures like stop-and-frisk. Despite those efforts, Redley’s case has not been resolved and stands among many unsolved homicides from that era, reflecting wider challenges in investigating and prosecuting violent crimes in the city.

Anyone with information that might help bring justice for Ransford Redley is asked to come forward.
