On the night of August 27, 2016, 25-year-old Nashawn Jones was shot and killed in Brewerytown, Philadelphia. Police responded about 9:25 p.m. to the 1700 block of North Newkirk Street for a report of a person with a gun and found Jones with a gunshot wound to his chest; he was taken to Temple University Hospital and pronounced dead at 10:15 p.m. A 45-year-old man also suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was taken to a hospital in a private vehicle; he was reported in stable condition. Police say the shooting grew out of an argument.
Known to friends and family as Moo moo, Jones was an aspiring rapper who had been in a recording studio the night before, had recently become engaged, and was planning a move to North Carolina with his fiancée. He had earned a GED and taken business classes at the Community College of Philadelphia while working toward a CDL license. The case remains unsolved and no arrests have been announced; anyone with information is asked to contact the Philadelphia Police Department.
Can anyone who knew Nashawn or who was in Brewerytown that night share information that could help the investigation?
