Brian Crosland was 18 when he was found dead in North Philadelphia in the early morning of January 24, 2010. A neighbor discovered his body in a trash-strewn vacant lot on the 1800 block of North Taney Street about 4:25 a.m. and called police. Officers pronounced Crosland dead at the scene; he had a single gunshot wound to the head.

Family and police said the shooting appeared to follow a robbery: his coat and cell phone were reportedly taken. The lot where he was found was muddy and next to a partially collapsed house. His mother, Debbie Crosland, described him as generous and said he was working toward his GED.

Police had not identified suspects or made arrests at the time of the initial reports and the investigation remained ongoing. Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear anything that night, or have information about his coat or phone after January 24, 2010?
