Jerelle Bey, known professionally as Relle, was fatally shot in Southwest Philadelphia in the early hours of Saturday, November 23, 2024. Officers found the 32-year-old (some reports list him as 33) unresponsive on the 5600 block of Whitby Avenue at about 3:31 a.m.; he had suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was pronounced dead at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center.

Bey was an R&B singer-songwriter who lived on Windsor Avenue and had gained attention in 2015 with a viral single, performing at notable events in the local music scene. His family held funeral services on December 14, 2024, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and his sister organized a GoFundMe to assist with funeral expenses.

No arrests have been announced and the Philadelphia Police Department describes the investigation as active. Authorities are asking the public for information, and specifically want leads about a burgundy two-door Pontiac seen near the scene around the time of the shooting.

If anyone has information about Bey, the burgundy Pontiac, or events that evening, please share what you know.
