Nevaughn Beasley, 50, was killed on April 8, 2023, during a neighborhood dispute over parking on the 1400 block of North 54th Street in West Philadelphia. The confrontation began about 1 p.m. as Beasley tried to park his red SUV near his home; a verbal argument with a neighbor escalated after the neighbor, identified as Rasheed Morrison, approached Beasley’s driver-side window. Beasley exited his vehicle and the confrontation continued outside the cars.

Police say Morrison reversed his vehicle into the front bumper of Beasley’s SUV and the altercation turned physical. Investigators reported that the struggle ended with Beasley on the ground, at which point Morrison allegedly stood over him, produced a firearm, and fired one shot into Beasley’s chest. Officers arrived within minutes; Beasley was taken to Lankenau Medical Center and pronounced dead at 1:14 p.m. Morrison was taken into custody at the scene and charged with murder, criminal conspiracy, weapons offenses, and related counts. No other suspects were reported.

Was anyone in that block’s neighborhood that afternoon able to see what happened or record video that could clarify the sequence of events?
