On October 17, 2023, 23-year-old Michael Miller of Philadelphia was fatally shot around 6:50 p.m. on the 900 block of South 5th Street in the Queen Village neighborhood. Officers responding to reports of gunfire found Miller lying in the street with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to Jefferson University Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. A 25-year-old Hispanic man was also shot in the hand and treated at the same hospital in stable condition.

No arrests have been made and no weapons have been recovered. Miller, known to family and friends as Mikemike, was described as a smart, loving, and respectful young man — an excellent student with a 3.8 GPA, fluent in Spanish, active in his church youth group and altar service, and preparing to start a job at Einstein Hospital Montgomery. The Philadelphia Police Department is asking anyone with information to contact 215-686-TIPS (8477).

If anyone knew Michael or was in the Queen Village area that evening, please share what you know with detectives.
