On the evening of March 2, 2023, 27-year-old Ronny Payano Roa was shot multiple times and killed while unloading belongings after moving to a new home on the 4300 block of North Marshall Street in Philadelphia. The shooting followed an argument over a parking space and happened in front of his partner, Luz Núñez, their 5-month-old infant, and his stepchildren. Núñez reported that three men were involved and that one assailant remained at the scene, but no arrest was made at that time.

Ronny’s death has left his family searching for answers. The Philadelphia Police Department lists the case as an open, unsolved homicide; there has been no public announcement of suspects or arrests. The family has been vocal in seeking justice after a young father was killed in what began as a dispute over parking.

If anyone witnessed the confrontation on March 2, 2023, or has information about the three men involved, please come forward to the Philadelphia Police Department.
