Samuel Johnson was a 30-year-old Black man living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He resided on the 4300 block of North 9th Street, and his life was cut short on a fall night in 2016.
Late in the evening of October 17, 2016, at 11:26 p.m., Philadelphia Police Officers responded to a call on the 700 block of East Allegheny Avenue. When they arrived, they found Samuel lying in the street, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
The officers rushed Samuel to Temple University Hospital for emergency medical care.
Tragically, despite their efforts, he died from his injuries that night.
Years later, Samuel’s murder remains unsolved, and no arrests have been made in connection with his death. Detectives investigating the case are urging anyone with information to come forward. The Philadelphia Police Department is asking the public for help and can be reached at 215-686-TIPS (8477).
