In the early hours of September 18, 2023, 42-year-old Lucas L. Cordero was fatally shot on the 2400 block of Aramingo Avenue in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood. Police were called about 12:22 a.m. for reports of a person with a weapon; paramedics pronounced Cordero, a resident of Memphis Street, dead at the scene at 12:48 a.m. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

Witnesses said three people fled immediately after the shooting, and one was seen carrying an automatic rifle, a detail that points to a violent, coordinated attack. Friends and family described Cordero as loving, charming, and genuine; he is survived by his wife Amber, eight children, and two grandchildren.

No additional facts about motive or other persons involved have been released. Did anyone in Kensington see or hear anything that night that could help the investigation?
