Alfred Holley Jr., also reported online as Alfred Holley and as James Holley, was a 28-year-old Black male from Philadelphia whose life ended on July 15, 2008, after a shooting in the city’s Logan section.
That afternoon, around 4:00 p.m., Philadelphia police were called to the 5000 block of North Sydenham Street for a report of gunfire. When officers arrived, they found Holley suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his neck and torso. The violence had happened in broad daylight, on a residential block, leaving little time for rescue. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 4:17 p.m.
Publicly available online records list both the date he was assaulted and the date he died as July 15, 2008, with the location recorded as the 5000 block of North Sydenham Street. The available reporting does not describe what led up to the shooting, whether Holley was targeted, whether there had been an argument, robbery, or other motive, or whether witnesses gave police a description of the person or people responsible.
No online source located outside the excluded site identified a named suspect, an arrest, charges, trial, conviction, or case outcome connected to Holley’s killing. Based on the available public information, the case remains described only through the immediate facts of the shooting: police responded to North Sydenham Street, found Holley badly wounded, and he died there within minutes.
