On the evening of February 2, 2023, 17-year-old Isaiah Odom was fatally shot in South Philadelphia after leaving his home on Titan Street to get something to eat on his bike. Police say the ambush occurred about 8:33 p.m. on the 1200 block of South 23rd Street when a gray sedan pulled up, two gunmen exited and fired; witnesses and video reportedly show the attackers chasing Isaiah and shooting him at point-blank range. At least 20 rounds were discharged.

Officers found Isaiah in the street with multiple gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. No weapons were recovered at the scene and no arrests have been announced. Isaiah’s mother said he’d been in a fight at South Philadelphia High School and received threats afterward; he had been unenrolled and was scheduled to attend One Bright Ray Community High School.
