On Tuesday, July 23, 2024, 16-year-old Jamil Wyatt was killed in Oxford Circle, Philadelphia. At about 4:04 p.m. he was walking to a store on the 1200 block of Van Kirk Street when three masked people in black emerged from a white 2013 Nissan Sentra, chased him into a rear driveway and opened fire. Surveillance footage shows him struck multiple times, collapsing while two of the attackers stood over him and continued shooting. Investigators recovered more than 50 spent shell casings and found no weapons at the scene.

Officers found Jamil unresponsive and transported him to Jefferson Frankford Hospital, where he died later that afternoon. He had been temporarily staying with a family in the neighborhood. Police say he appeared to have been targeted but have not determined a motive. The three suspects fled in the Nissan and remain at large; no arrests have been announced.

If anyone saw the vehicle, the suspects, or has other information about who was responsible, please contact the Philadelphia Police Homicide Unit.
