Luimi Jose Nuñez Ger, 34, was fatally shot on December 6, 2023, inside the Nuevo Amanecer corner store on the 2900 block of North Hancock Street in North Philadelphia. The store was family-run and Nuñez worked there as a cook alongside his father. Around 5:00 p.m. gunfire erupted during what investigators initially described as an apparent robbery; early reports said three people entered the business and that Nuñez appeared to have been their intended target.

Philadelphia police found three people with gunshot wounds. Nuñez had been shot multiple times and was taken to Temple University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His father, the store owner, and a customer were also seriously wounded; early accounts say the father drew a firearm and fired during the chaos, striking a customer who had been using the store ATM. No weapons linked to the attackers were recovered at the scene.

The killing hit the neighborhood hard; customers and neighbors described Nuñez and his father as hardworking and welcoming. Authorities offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Does anyone who shopped at Nuevo Amanecer or who was near North Hancock Street that evening have information that could help?
