On November 22, 2024, 48-year-old Moneer Farhat was fatally shot in Philadelphia’s Frankford neighborhood near Frankford Avenue and Pratt Street, close to the SEPTA Frankford Transportation Center. Police say Farhat entered a running, unattended Honda belonging to 39-year-old Sherwayne Garrison, who had briefly left the vehicle to use an ATM. When Garrison noticed the car being taken, he fired a single shot that struck Farhat in the head. Farhat then crashed the vehicle into a nearby taxi and was found by responding Philadelphia Police and SEPTA officers inside the crashed car with the gunshot wound. He was taken to Temple University Hospital in critical condition and pronounced dead at 6:12 p.m.

Garrison approached SEPTA officers at the scene, identified himself as the shooter, and was arrested. He has been charged with murder and related offenses and is reported to be a licensed gun owner. The case has prompted debate about the use of lethal force in response to property crimes as authorities continue to investigate.
