A celebration in North Philadelphia turned deadly in the early hours of December 10, 2023, when a dispute between two men at a party on the 2200 block of North Chadwick Street exploded into gunfire. Police say one person fired as many as two dozen shots and another returned fire with eight rounds. Thirty-two-year-old Jerome Jones was struck multiple times and died after being taken to Temple University Hospital.

A 28-year-old woman, Tyshea Howard, was also killed and two men, 36 and 45, who were arriving at the party were wounded by stray bullets. Detectives described the shooting as originating from a confrontation between attendees and were investigating what sparked the argument. No arrests had been announced and a significant reward was being offered for information leading to an arrest.

If anyone was at that gathering or has information about the confrontation on North Chadwick Street, please come forward.
