Daiquan A. Phillips, a 20-year-old African American male from Harrisburg, PA, tragically lost his life on December 26, 2021, due to senseless gun violence. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds on the 500 block of Emerald Street around 9:30 p.m. Despite the severity of the incident, no arrests have been made, and the case remains unsolved.
Daiquan was a beloved son, brother, father, and friend.

The Harrisburg Bureau of Police and District Attorney Fran Chardo have been working diligently to solve this case, but it remains one of the many unsolved homicides in Harrisburg. The community has rallied around Daiquan's family, setting up a GoFundMe campaign to help cover funeral expenses and offering rewards for information leading to an arrest.
