On February 13, 2024, 32-year-old Denver Newton was found shot to death alongside 53-year-old Lamont Wright in Philadelphia’s Tioga-Nicetown neighborhood. Both victims were discovered in the front seats of a parked Kia Sportage on the 3600 block of North 17th Street with the engine running; each had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Surveillance footage showed two male suspects approach the vehicle and fire multiple shots before fleeing in a black Nissan Altima. In April investigators released images of those suspects and described the victims as appearing to have been targeted. Newton’s family has said she was lively and energetic, with a smile that could light up the room, and they continue to seek justice.

Anyone who saw activity around the 3600 block of North 17th Street on February 13 or who recognizes the men in the released images is asked to contact Philadelphia police with information.
