Andre Sabir Lyles, 37, was shot dead on the evening of August 15, 2023, in the vestibule of the Family Dollar on the 5700 block of Baltimore Avenue in West Philadelphia. He had left home earlier that night after a brief moment with his wife to run errands. Officers transported him to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead from a gunshot wound to the head.

Lyles was a father to children aged two to twenty-one and his family was expecting a new baby. He had been described as determined and ambitious, building a new life with his wife and running an entrepreneurial program aimed at helping young men who had been through the juvenile justice system.

Philadelphia Police arrested a person the day after the shooting and charged them with murder; the department has described the case as solved and it is pending trial. If anyone knew Andre, saw activity around the Family Dollar that night, or has information that could help the case, please come forward.
