Kenneth Kennedy-McLeod, 37, was killed during an apparent robbery while working inside the Frankford Convenience Store on the 1500 block of Pratt Street in Philadelphia. The shooting occurred just after midnight on July 11, 2024; police found him wounded inside the store and he was pronounced dead at Temple University Hospital at 12:43 a.m. He had been shot in both shoulders and the cash register was open with money scattered on the floor, leading investigators to treat the incident as a robbery-gone-wrong.

Within days of the murder, 37-year-old Kharee Simmons was arrested and charged with murder, criminal conspiracy, robbery, and related offenses. A second suspect, 43-year-old Siddeeq Shakoor, remained at large for months before being arrested on January 8, 2025, and charged with the same offenses. Both men are in custody and awaiting legal proceedings.
