Mujahid Sabir was 16 when his body was found along a trail in Cobbs Creek Park in Philadelphia in the early morning of May 10, 2024. Emergency crews pronounced him dead at 7:02 a.m.; he had sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the back, chest, and leg. Investigators recovered about 14 spent cartridge casings near the scene.

Family last saw Mujahid the evening of May 9 and became worried when he did not return. The assailants had taken his identification, which delayed notifying the family. Mujahid was the nephew of Philadelphia City Commissioner Omar Sabir, who publicly spoke about the family’s loss and urged anyone with information to come forward. The City Police Homicide Unit is investigating; as of late May 2024 no arrests had been announced and no motive had been released.

If anyone was in or near Cobbs Creek Park on the night of May 9 into May 10 and saw something that could help, please contact the Philadelphia Police Homicide Unit.
