On a November evening in 2019, the life of 25-year-old Darren Foxworth was tragically cut short in a burst of gunfire in North Philadelphia. Foxworth, a Black male, was on the 2000 block of North College Avenue when assailants on all-terrain vehicles opened fire. The shooting, which occurred around 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday, November 5th, left Foxworth with multiple gunshot wounds.
Responding Philadelphia Police officers found Foxworth on a green ATV.
He was rushed to Jefferson University Hospital for medical attention but succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead later that evening. The attack also wounded a 26-year-old man, who was shot in the thigh and taken to Temple University Hospital in stable condition.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, a police chase ensued after one of the suspects who fled the scene on an ATV. The pursuit, which involved a police helicopter, ended on the 4600 block of McKinley Street, where one individual was taken into custody.
Despite the initial reports of an arrest, the subsequent legal proceedings and the identity of the individual taken into custody have not been publicly detailed in online sources. There are no readily available online records of any charges, trials, or convictions in connection with Darren Foxworth's death. The case is listed on the Philadelphia Police Department's unsolved murders website, and authorities have encouraged anyone with information to come forward. Information regarding a second suspect has not been made available in the examined online sources.
