Jeffrey Otero, a 31-year-old male of Hispanic ethnicity, tragically lost his life on August 31, 2019, in Philadelphia, PA. He was one of six victims who succumbed to injuries sustained during a violent Labor Day weekend that saw multiple shootings and stabbings across the city. Jeffrey was fatally shot in the head on the 4600 block of North 4th Street in North Philadelphia and was later pronounced dead at Temple University Hospital.
The incident occurred around 1:30 a.m., and Jeffrey was
one of two men killed in the quadruple shooting. The other victim, Felix Moda-Montilla, also 25 years old, was shot in the head and later succumbed to his injuries.
