Sixteen-year-old Jaseem Thomas was shot multiple times, including wounds to his head and body, on April 27, 2023, on the 2200 block of South 67th Street in Southwest Philadelphia. He was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center in critical condition and died of his injuries on May 1, 2023.

After the shooting Jaseem’s mother, Shanae Thomas, authorized organ donation; five people received organs from him. No arrests have been announced. The City of Philadelphia is offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to arrest and conviction, and authorities ask anyone with tips to call the Citizens Crime Commission at 215-546-TIPS; callers will remain anonymous.

Jaseem’s family and local groups continue to seek justice and press for measures to prevent gun violence. Does anyone have information about that evening on South 67th Street or Jaseem’s last movements?
