On June 9, 2023, at about 10:35 p.m., 16-year-old Calvin ’CJ’ Johnson IV was shot on the 2500 block of North 32nd Street in Philadelphia’s Strawberry Mansion neighborhood. Officers found him lying in the street with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso; he was taken to Temple University Hospital and pronounced dead at 11:07 p.m.

Calvin, a Drexel Hill resident, is remembered by his family as loyal, kind, and respectful. He enjoyed anime, collecting Pokémon cards, playing on his PlayStation 5, and making music, and had plans for life after high school. One assailant pushed Calvin against a car, held a gun to his chest and, finding nothing to take, shot him three times before fleeing.

A $20,000 reward was later offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction; investigators conducted numerous interviews and reviewed phone records and have identified multiple teens believed to be involved. Does anyone who knew Calvin or was in Strawberry Mansion that night have information that could help the investigation?
