In the city of Philadelphia, a 24-year-old Hispanic male named Marc Anthony Santiago-Moyer was tragically killed on the afternoon of Friday, July 15, 2022. He was discovered lying in the street on the 3500 block of Amber Street in the Kensington neighborhood, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Philadelphia Police officers responded to the scene at 4:36 p.m.
and quickly transported him to Temple University Hospital, but he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.
The investigation into his death determined that Santiago-Moyer was the victim of a carjacking. On the night he was killed, he had been preparing for a trip to Ocean City, Maryland, and had called his mother just thirty minutes before the incident to let her know he was stopping by. Instead of her son, a police officer arrived at her door to inform her of the carjacking. His mother recalled that she wasn't initially worried, knowing her son to be a pacifist who would not have fought his attacker.
On August 31, 2022, the Philadelphia Police Department arrested a suspect in connection with the murder of Marc Anthony Santiago-Moyer. The case is currently pending trial.
