Quasay Johnson, a 31-year-old Black man, was at his home in the West Oak Lane neighborhood of Philadelphia in the spring of 2012. He lived in an apartment on the 7000 block of North 15th Street.
In the early morning hours of Friday, April 20, 2012, Johnson received a phone call. According to police, the call lured him out of his apartment and down to the vestibule of his building.
Witnesses in the area told investigators they heard an argument break out, which was quickly followed by the sound of gunfire. Johnson was struck three times in the chest and once in an arm.
He was pronounced dead at the scene just after 12:30 a.m.
Police were told that two men were seen running from the building's entrance immediately after the shooting. No arrests were ever made in the case. As of April 2012, the investigation was ongoing, and the murder of Quasay Johnson remains unsolved.
