He was 35 when he was found shot to death on the streets of Philadelphia on January 18, 2015. The killing occurred during a year that saw a marked rise in gun violence across the city, with firearms accounting for over 84% of homicides in 2015 and most incidents taking place outdoors.

The broader pattern that year included a high number of deaths among young Black men and concentrated hot spots where shootings were far more frequent, with motives often tied to arguments, interpersonal disputes, drugs, or retaliation. In Solomon’s case the specific motive is not known.
