Elliot Cartwright, a 35-year-old African-American man, was fatally shot on September 20, 2009, in the 4800 block of North 11th Street in Philadelphia during a month that saw 46 homicides across the city. The neighborhood where the shooting occurred had been persistently troubled by violence. Little information about the specific circumstances of the shooting has been made public, and no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified.

The Philadelphia Police Department is asking the public for any information that could help the investigation. Friends and family held a memorial service to remember Cartwright, but those who knew him say justice remains elusive.

If anyone has information about Elliot Cartwright or the shooting, please come forward to the Philadelphia Police Department.
